DecimalFormat produces duplicate suffix when format includes exponent and suffix

The following code illustrates the bug

import java.text.*;
import.java.util.*;

public class DFTest {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    String fmtreg = "##0.# mln;(##0.# mln)";
    String fmtexp = "##0.#E0 mln;(##0.#E0 mln)";
    double numbers[] = {123456.789,-123456.789,1234567.993,-1234567.993};
    DecimalFormat dformreg = (DecimalFormat)NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.US);
    dformreg.applyPattern(fmtreg);
    DecimalFormat dformexp = (DecimalFormat)NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.US);
    dformexp.applyPattern(fmtexp);
    for (int j = 0; j < numbers.length; j++)
    {
      System.out.println(((DecimalFormat)dformreg).toPattern() + " -> " + dformreg.format(numbers[j]));
      System.out.println(((DecimalFormat)dformexp).toPattern() + " -> " + dformexp.format(numbers[j]));
    }
  }
}

The above code produces the following output:
#0.# mln;(#0.# mln) -> 123456.8 mln
##0.#E0 mln;(##0.#E0 mln) -> 123.5E3 mln mln
#0.# mln;(#0.# mln) -> (123456.8 mln)
##0.#E0 mln;(##0.#E0 mln) -> (123.5E3 mln mln)
#0.# mln;(#0.# mln) -> 1234568 mln
##0.#E0 mln;(##0.#E0 mln) -> 1.235E6 mln mln
#0.# mln;(#0.# mln) -> (1234568 mln)
##0.#E0 mln;(##0.#E0 mln) -> (1.235E6 mln mln)

Note that the DecimalFormat instance that includes both an exponent and a
suffix produces a duplicate suffix.
