I don't know if this is still relevant, since everybody will be
upgrading to version 3.6, but I found a printf formatting bug
in the v3.4 libraries.  If you:

	printf("%lg\n",1000000.0);

you get:	100000

The implicit %.6lg truncates the last zero!  This bit me BIG the other
night.  Can anyone confirm if this is still present in v3.6?
Note:  I found it in m.lib and mx.lib.  I haven't yet checked the others.
