Title: sprintf bug
Hi all,
I think there is a bug with sprintf in 1.1.2. The following is the
code snippet that reproduces the bug:
int
maint(int argc, char *argv[])
{
 char buf[256];
 double dbl = 0.0;
 sprintf(buf, "%4.3e\n", dbl);
 printf("%s", buf); /* buf contains garbage characters. */
 return;
}
It seems if you have a non-zero value after the dot in the format,
then sprintf includes that many garbage characters. In the above case,
there are 3 garbage characters.
