"1e+006" is a floating point number which represents "1000000" (i.e. 1
with 6 decimal places added). This is how PD normally handles numbers
with quite a few places before or after the decimal. If PD is listening
on the other side, it will know this. Probably Max too, but I cannot
verify. For other apps, you could try converting your number to a symbol
first and see if that helps.
