1,000,000 is not the same as 10000000.  What command exactly did you use
that gave you the output you are asking about?

This is quite old and has known bugs.  In all likelihood, the bug you are
complaining about has been fixed in the meantime.  Consider upgrading -
the latest version is 7.4, and 7.5 is due out soon.
