As I said, the fact that %d now produces non-integer results in some 
cases is the
cause of the stemleaf.m failures.  Right now, I think that this actually 
was a coding error
in stemleaf.m: I was allowing a non-integer step size when it should be 
integer.

But, I need to think about this a bit more before committing the change. 
The fact that the
changed code passes the tests (also revised) under previous version of 
Octave is a good sign.

I suspect that there will be some other places where this change in the 
behavior
of %d will reveal problems.
