Thanks for the report! To reproduce it, I did this: $ LC_ALL=fr_FR.utf8 ./printf %1.2500000000s x zsh: bus error LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 ./printf %1.2500000000s x [Exit 135 (BUS)] Actually that's due to a bug in glibc that affects even the very latest in CVS. I've dug a little and reported it upstream: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/238406 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
