>Description:
At least awk(1) and printf(1) fail to properly parse the
fractional dot in the case of locale, where the separator
is a coma, like in uk_UA.KOI8-U.
It was always my understanding, that the locale-specific
separator is supposed to be recognized as such in _addition_
to the C dot.
>How-To-Repeat:
setenv LANG uk_UA.KOI8-U
echo 3.3 | awk '{printf("%g\n", $0)}'
3
printf "%g\n" 3.3
printf: 3.3: not completely converted
3
