Jeff,

The attached patch fixes my most recently reported problems with "%f"
formatting.  However, my previously reported problem with:

    "%#.109g", -3333333333333333371313292264111748921061485000000.0

is back.

Unfortunately, I'm having difficulties isolating the problem in C, but
the following simple Python script SEGVs during exit (i.e., during
garbage collection):

    s = "%#.109g" % (-1.e+49/3.)
    print s

Attached is my C translation of the above.  Single stepping in gdb, I
haven't found the overwrite yet.  I will try to dig deeper, but I hope
that reporting what I have found will help you see what I'm missing.

Thanks,
Jason
