Using 001 and 002 was not a good example to choose ;-)

This is more of a feature than a bug.  Bind (like many other programs)
uses the convention that octal numbers start with a leading "0" and
hexadecimal numbers start with a leading "0x" to allow you to write things
like

	localhost	IN	A	0x7f.000.000.1

in your zone files should you so wish.
