[Proj] False Easting & Northing for LAEA?

Hello,

I'm pretty new to Proj.4.  I'm having a bit of trouble with false 
easting and northing.  See code below (using a simple C++ wrapper):

    const double D2R = M_PI / 180.0;

     double proj_lon_0 = -40;
     double proj_lat_0 = 74;
     char sproj[100];
     sprintf(sproj, "+proj=laea +lon_0=%f +lat_0=%f +x0=1000000 
+y0=1700000 +ellps=sphere",
         proj_lon_0, proj_lat_0);
     printf("Using projection: \"%s\"\n", sproj);
     Proj proj(sproj);
     printf("Using full projection: \"%s\"\n", proj.get_def().c_str());

The output is:

Using projection: "+proj=laea +lon_0=-40.000000 +lat_0=74.000000 
+x0=1000000 +y0=1700000 +ellps=sphere"
Using full projection: " +proj=laea +lon_0=-40.000000 +lat_0=74.000000 
+ellps=sphere"

Note that my false easting/northing has been removed from my proj.4 
string!  The fact that no false easting/northing is being used is 
confirmed when I try to transform a point:

     double lon00 = -40;
     double lat00 = 74;
     double xp,yp;
     int err = transform(llproj, proj, lon00*D2R, lat00*D2R, xp, yp);
     printf("Proj.4 transform 00 -> (%f, %f) (err = %d)\n", xp, yp, err);

Output is:

   Proj.4 transform 00 -> (0.000000, -0.000000) (err = 0)

Any ideas on why I'm not getting a false easting/northing here?  I can 
certainly work around the problem, but it would be nice if it could work.

Thanks!
