I don't recall ever seeing 6 decimal places printed out.  That is the default
for C language printf.  But I thought it was only printing 1 or 2 decimal
places.  I didn't really care if the rate was 6147 KB/s or 6147.20 KB/s :))
So I did hack my copy to get rid of decimal places in all columns.

Never noted that before in the man page.  Learn something new every day :)
So I don't know if it does, or has ever, worked.  But I'll wager that
getting rid of the 21 fractional chars would do nothing but help.
