Thanks Dave for the tip, but I found that I needed to change a pattern
that was already in say.conf:

=======
[fr](date-base,digit-base)     ;BAD _[n]um:0. => num:${SAY:1}
_[n]um:0X => num:${SAY:0:1}, num:${SAY:1:1}
	...

    ;regular phone numbers : landlines and cellphones
;_pho[n]e:0[1-9]XXXXXXXX => num:${SAY:0:1}, num:${SAY:1:1},
num:${SAY:2:2}, num:${SAY:4:2}, num:${SAY:6:2}, num:${SAY:8:2}
=======

If I got it right, the way say.conf works, is that it reads the whole
say.conf to make a list of the different patterns. Then, when reading
a prefix+number, it reads the patterns on the right side and tries to
find if it furthers matches another pattern.

In the example above, "_[n]um:0X" will match "num:${SAY:6:2}", which
will read the two digits as expected, ie. without ignoring a leading
zero.

Thank you.
