Bash Version: 2.05b
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release

Description:
Type
    printf "%#15.4f" -5e100

Bash prints answer and then goes into an infinite loop. (100% CPU)

    /bin/printf "%#15.4f" -5e100

Does not have this problem so more likely this is something to do with bash
than the underlying C printf function.

Repeat-By:
    printf "%#15.4f" -5e100

Fix:
Sorry no information here - but if you cannot reproduce then I will do a
debug build and put it under the debugger.
