Can you please clarify? What I see from previous emails is this:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-10/msg00121.html
This refers to some private correspondence, but it's not exactly clear
to me what the bug is, or why adding printf-posix will fix it.
Ordinarily we'd rather use printf than using aprintf and then sending
the result to stdout; that way we don't need to worry about
memory-allocation issues.
