This bug has been reported to the developers...
The program:
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf("%.4e %.4f %.4g\n", 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
}
Prints (on 2.0)
0e+00 0.0000 0
it should print (as 1.1.5.1 does):
0.0000e+00 0.0000 0
There are a number of other problems performing e, f, and g type conversions.
This shows up on the tests for tcl, for example.
