    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Real number input to sprintf, and presumably the other printf family of
functions, is passing through floating point numbers without modification.

In version 3.8.2 the sample code correctly prints 'F'.  This was first
discovered in a gnuplot bug report and it may be causing multiple problems in
the code base.

This is a blocker for the 4.0 release.
