The attached patch to pnetlib-0.5.2, GeneralFormatter.cs would seem to
fix this but someone more experienced should check it doesn't break
anything as I'm only a few hours old to dotGNU and pnet. 

What would be the accepted form for patches (this one was made using
diff -cbr)? And again, would this be the right place to post them?

Apologies if I'm in the wrong place. Tell me and I'll shut up.
