I have pushed a change that (on my system, anyway) fixes this.


The plated drill file is printed in 1/10th mils rather than just
mils, so we were multiplying those values by ten before printing.
This is why plated-drill overflowed but nothing else did.

Now we just print a '0' after the values, rather than actually
doing the multiplication. ;)
