Weird Problem w/ DecimalFormat

The following code snippet:

static DecimalFormat nf=new DecimalFormat("#####.00");
System.out.println(nf.format(1000.10));

sometimes stops working properly and instead of seeing 1000.10 I see 1000,10
(note the comma). I can't for the life of me figure out what is going on...
I'm using Java 1.3.1 on a Sun workstation.

Any ideas?
