[PATCH] Fix printf %e .9999999999999999


Hi!

We print ATM 0.999999999 with "%e" as "1.000000e-00", while 1.0 as
"1.000000e+00".  While the standard doesn't talk about the sign of the
exponent when it is zero, as IEEE754 numbers don't have positive vs.
negative zero exponents, just exponent 0, I'd say we should always
print e+00 instead of e-00. 

2007-04-30  Jakub Jelinek  <jakub@redhat.com>

	* stdio-common/printf_fp.c (___printf_fp): Don't print negative sign
	for exponent 0.
	* stdio-common/tfformat.c (sprint_doubles): Add a new test.
