Attachments: Fixes kcalc_core.cpp so semi-large numbers like 1048576 display correctly

Description rmedina 2002-12-09 08:10:15 UTC 
Version:           1.3.2 (using KDE 3.0.9)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.1
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.19

I  calculate things such as 1024x1024 all the time and I hate having to find 
 xcalc every time. I thought the problem had to do with not compiling it with 
 long double precision, but it definately is compiled correctly. It has been this way for quite 
 some time.

I don't know if this is the best or correct way to fix the problem, but it
appears to work for me.
