Setting Mem2 to value 0 in a rule does not work

[tig987]

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

When setting variable mem2 to value 0 in a rule and accessing it afterwards mem2 is infact not 0 but empty.
The same procedure is working fine with variable mem1.

  (Please use weblog 4 for more debug information)

  11:40:00 RUL: TIME#MINUTE|5 performs "mem1 0"
11:40:00 MQT: sensors/cellar/stat/RESULT = {"Mem1":"0"}
11:40:00 RUL: TIME#MINUTE|5 performs "mem2 0"
11:40:00 MQT: sensors/cellar/stat/RESULT = {"Mem2":"0"}
11:40:33 RUL: TELE-COUNTER#C1 performs "mem1=0+11"
11:40:33 MQT: sensors/cellar/stat/RESULT = {"Mem1":"11.000"}
11:40:33 RUL: TELE-COUNTER#C2 performs "mem2=+21"
11:40:33 MQT: sensors/cellar/stat/RESULT = {"Mem2":"0.000"}

TO REPRODUCE

set the rules as shown above.
you can then see that mem1=%mem1%+%value%
is calulated correcty as "mem1=0+11"
but mem2 calcuation mem2=%mem2%+%value%
is wrong; "mem2=+21"
Where the value 0 should be it is empty.

The same happens when using the rule syntax

ON Time#Minute|5 DO mem1=0 ENDON
ON Time#Minute|5 DO mem2=0 ENDON

then the output is

11:30:00 RUL: TIME#MINUTE|5 performs "mem1=0"
11:30:00 MQT: sensors/cellar/stat/RESULT = {"Mem1":"0.000"}
11:30:00 RUL: TIME#MINUTE|5 performs "mem2=0"
11:30:00 MQT: sensors/cellar/stat/RESULT = {"Mem2":"0.000"}
11:30:33 RUL: TELE-COUNTER#C1 performs "mem1=0.000+11"
11:30:33 MQT: sensors/cellar/stat/RESULT = {"Mem1":"11.000"}
11:30:33 RUL: TELE-COUNTER#C2 performs "mem2=.000+21"
11:30:34 MQT: sensors/cellar/stat/RESULT = {"Mem2":"0.000"}

mem2 is caculated as "mem2=.000+21" - the digit before the . is missing

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

set mem2 correctly to 0

This was a serious error leading to character pool corruption

Thx for reporting and sorry it took so long to solve.
