NumberFormatException When Send BTC Amount With Four Digits

[jimbobway]

I have two laptops with multibit installed.  I am trying to send bitcoins from one to the other using multibit.  I generated an address on laptop 1.  On laptop 2 I send bitcoins to that newly generated address public key.  I get a numberformatexception.

Using multibit 0.5.17 on both laptops.  Using Windows 8 for laptop 1.  Windows 7 on laptop 2.

When I use a mycelium generated address to send bitcoins from laptop 2 to the mycelium it sends ok.  I will try generating another address on laptop 1 and seeing if it generates the same error.
