This is not the same problem, as I pointed out when I found it
after I fixed the integer overflow in strfmon(3). This is a NULL
pointer dereference caused by an unchecked memory allocation failure
in the gdtoa code. You don't even need to compile any code to cause
it:
$ printf %9999999999.999999999g 2
