The fix is like mine: surround sprintf(%f) with setlocale() call to use C
locale. This fix is in UNIX code.
This time the problem arise in XP code. That's why I'm wondering about
portabibility outside UNIX code. setlocale() is supposed to be part of
POSIX, but some platform may not support it. Perhaps I should write a UT
wrapper for this.
I'm about to check my fix on Linux/GNOME. This is a 3 LOC fix.
