>Description:
	At least awk(1) and printf(1) fail to properly parse the
	fractional dot in the case of locale, where the separator
	is a coma, like in uk_UA.KOI8-U.

	It was always my understanding, that the locale-specific
	separator is supposed to be recognized as such in _addition_
	to the C dot.

>How-To-Repeat:
	setenv LANG uk_UA.KOI8-U
	echo 3.3 | awk '{printf("%g\n", $0)}'
	3
	printf "%g\n" 3.3
	printf: 3.3: not completely converted
	3
