Build Identifier: Version: 3.4.2 Build id: M20090211-1700

String pdecimal = Double.toString(guess);  'guess' is a double field with a decimal point.  Sometimes a parenthesis or an asterisk replaces the last 'digit' of 'pdecimal'.  If it's a parenthesis then it replaced an '8'.  If an asterisk then it replaced a '9'.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. do some calculations in the double field 'guess'.
2. String pdecimal = Double.toString(guess);
3. look at pdecimal.

From your description, this sounds as a Java bug. I'd suggest opening a bug request with the maker of the JVM that you are using.
