Hi,
I am using recent Cygwin on WindowsXP professional.
I have found this bug in when using /usr/bin/printf:
If printf "%4.0f" rounds its argument to 0, it only prints 3
characters instead of 4, e.g.:
$ printf "%4.0f\n%4.0f\n" 0 0.1
0
0
Can you also see this?
Originally, I have found this problem in gawk, but /usr/bin/printf behaves
in the same way. I guess the problem is somewhere in the runtime libraries.
HTH,
Pavol
