Subject: [9fans] libfmt/libutf and long double

Hello,

I've run into a behavior with libfmt/libutf on UNIX system
that does not seem intuitive:

	long double ldv = 3.3;
	print("long double var = %llE\n", ldv);

gives:
	long double var = -6.257775E+92

Identical code under Plan 9 gives the expected output of:

	long double var = 3.300000E+00

Is there any particular reason why the behaviors should
differ in this manner ?

cheers,
