Bummer.  But after some thought, I guess I really don't care too much
about the internal representation since I'm not a developer.  What's
really bugging me is that the display doesn't zeropad a US zip of <5
digits (and bbdb *knows* it's a US zip because it chose the integer
internal format).  I'll try to come up with a patch.  I'm hoping I
just have to add a %05 to a format statement somewhere.
