Description: printf g and f format problems

The %g format of the printf() statement only allows two exponent digits
to be output. If three exponent digits are required then only two exponent
digits will be output and garbage is output for the most significant of
these.

If the %f format of the printf statement is used and the number to be
output is close to a power of ten then a leading zero is sometimes
output.
