[Bug libc/4869] New: glibc 2.6: incorrect printing of floating-point numbers

["cottrell at wfu dot edu" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Under the format, e.g., "%#.5g", glibc 2.6 prints floating point
numbers in a manner that is inconsistent with the C standard.  
For example

  printf("%#.5g\n", 50.99999999);

gives

  51.00

which fails to display the required 5 digits.
