Bug description:
[ Impact ]
Programs relying on the builtin printf function of bash stop working
correctly when trying to format numbers with %f.
[ Test Plan ]
Run the following command, which currently returns "-nan" while it should
return 52.12:
$ bash -c "printf %.2f 52.123"
[ Where problems could occur ]
Unknown regressions in the formatting after applying the patch.
