Don't worry, it's not your fault... Say goodbye to the world of common sense,
welcome to the world of the Fortran standard! ;-)

"The scale factor k controls the decimal normalization (10.3.2, 10.8.5).  If âd
< k <= 0, the output field contains exactly |k| leading zeros and d â |k|
significant digits after the decimal symbol. If 0 < k < d + 2, the output field
contains exactly k significant digits to the left of the decimal symbol and d â
k + 1 significant digits to the right of the decimal symbol. Other values of k
are not permitted."
