Small zip code bug with xcast?

First of all, many thanks for developing this program. A ton of features that really fill several needs.

I think I've found an issue with the xcast functionality. I haven't gotten any weather info for zip codes with a leading zero. I tried 06457, 06067, and 06103 from here in CT, and also 02215 (Fenway Park, Boston). No response in some cases after several hours. As a control, I tried 46614 (South Bend, IN), 20176 (Leesburg, VA), and 91356 (Tarzana, CA). Got info on all three of those in 60 seconds or less.

Treo 700WX/Sprint
TA Pro 6.2 Lite Complete (6/3/2007)

Although the leading zero displays properly in the carrier bar, it is omitted when I return to the zip code input off of the Display Settings Menu. I have a sneaking suspicion the zip is being stored as an int() or similar, and it may need to be a string to preserve, and pass along to xcast, the leading zero. But I could be all wet on that.

Any thoughts?
