Which isn't true anymore anyway. I've just tried on SuSE 9.2, SuSE
9.3,
AIX 4.3.3, AIX 5.2.0, HP-UX 11i, and HP-UX 11.00, and all print
"-0" on
the example below. Only HP-UX 10.20 still prints "0"
OK. Can somebody say what the situation is on (particular versions
of) VMS? -- copied to John E Malmberg in the hope of help.

I will pass this on to the experts in this area. It may be a case of
setting the proper build options.
Some bug-fixes that visibly change behavior are not enabled by default
so that they do not break existing programs that depend on the incorrect
behavior.
