I have a model that includes the following:

    validates_presence_of :zipcode
    validates_numericality_of :zipcode, :plus4, :allow_nil=>true
    validates_length_of :zipcode, :is=>5, :allow_nil=>true
    validates_length_of :plus4, :is=>4, :allow_nil=>true

The allow_nils are just to prevent the reporting of the same error (say,
a missing zipcode) multiple ways. The problem is that, when the user
enters data into the form:

    <%= f.label :zipcode %>:
    <%= f.text_field :zipcode, :maxlength=>5 %>-<%= f.text_field :plus4, 
:maxlength=>4 %>

the validation reports:

    Zipcode is the wrong length (should be 5 characters)

even when the input *is* five digits (e.g. "99999"). What's going on
here?
