java.text.DecimalFormat.format(long n, StringBuffer str, FieldPosition fp) formats 
wrong if `n * multiplier' greater than Long.MAX_VALUE.
 
Here is the test demonstrating the bug:

-----------------Test.java------------------------
import java.text.*;
import java.math.*;

public class Test {
    public static void main (String args[]){
        DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat();
        long n = 1234567890123456L;
        int m = 12345678;
        BigInteger bigN = BigInteger.valueOf(n);
        bigN = bigN.multiply(BigInteger.valueOf(m));
        df.setMultiplier(m); 
        df.setGroupingUsed(false); 
        System.out.println("formated: " + 
            df.format(n, new StringBuffer(), new FieldPosition(0)));
        System.out.println("expected: " + bigN.toString());
    }
} 

---------Output from the test---------------------
formated: 15241577640603568000000
expected: 15241577640603568023168
