You did not whack your libraries Thad, before I discovered "the net" I was
foolish enough to call the AT&T hotline and pay $120 an hour to have a
technician tell me, "Yep, your right, it is a bug", for the exact same type
of problem you describe (I know, I was stupid, $120 an hour).  To top that
off... the tech then told me, "We can't do anything because that machine and
it's software are no longer supported".  Anyway my solution was to grab a PD
version of printf and use it only when I needed the *.*f, *.*d, etc
capabilities.
