That bug ended with no one being able to reproduce the strange results
you see on your system:
(format "%s" 1.1)
=> Emacs 22.2.1: "1.1"
=> Emacs 23.0.94.1: "1.0"
This could not be reproduced on several GNU/Linux systems and on
Windows.

Looks like the setlocale call in emacs.c:fixup_locale is not working.
And eventually, you said:
Maybe it is a very unusual and rare combination on my GNU/Linux system.
I do not insist on progressing.
That's why nothing was done with that bug.

Right, but please suggest a way to investigate this, given that no one
can reproduce the problem.
