|Hello out there!

|Consider the following program:
|#include <stdio.h>
|void main(void) {
| double val;
| val = 0.0;
| printf("%f\n",val);
|}
|WHY, oh why, does the program output -1.00000?????
|%lf does not work.
|HOWEVER, changing the 0.0 to 0 fixes the problem.
|I'm using 386BSD, no patchkits, no '387.
The result on my machine is : 0.000000
I'm running 386BSD 0.1 Patchkit Level 0.2.3.
You should patch your system up to this level. Many bugfixes
and additional functionality (more progs from NET 2 Tape)!
