Printf Core Dumps on A/UX

I consider this a bug:

The printf on A/UX will core dump with a floating point
exception on extreme data. For example:

		printf("%g\n", 0x7fffffff);

will core dump on A/UX. On our BSD and other USG systems, this
prints "NaN", or some appropriate value (depending on the type
of internal floating point format).

I submit this to this group, since I don't know of another way to
submit A/UX bug reports to Apple.
