printf produces no output for %f directive

[Bruno Haible]

Hi,

On a glibc 2.3.6 system, 'printf' produces no output for a %f directive in
some cases:

$ /packages/gnu/bin/printf --version
printf (GNU coreutils) 6.9
$ /packages/gnu/bin/printf %.100000000f 17
<no output>
$ echo $?
0

I would have expected an error message and an exit status of 1.

Likewise for %e instead of %f.

100000000 is far less than INT_MAX.
