i have the same problem between the 4.3.4 and the 4.3.8 php version, on
windows system...
i made some new tests and i think that when the value is less than 1,
in 4.3.8, the number of digits before the decimal-point in the sprintf
(6 in the example) is used as the number of digits before the
decimal-point in the returned value (000000.50), whereas in the 4.3.4
version, this value is used for the length of the entire value
(included the decimal-point).

Line 401/403 in ext/standard/formatted_printf.c should be
removed.
/* if (precision > 0) {
width += (precision + 1);
}*/
I'm not a PHP-developer, but 'width' passed to
php_sprintf_appenddouble should be passed on to
php_sprintf_appendstring unaltered. It seems that in most cases
precision is garbled to 0 so it works most of the time.

Description:
------------
A printf of float values less than 1 gives an incorrect output. It
looks like the numbers before the dot equal the width specifier...
This happens with every tested PHP version (4.3.7, 5.0.0RC3 and CVS)
With PHP 4.3.6 both outputs were wrong...

Reproduce code:
---------------
$a = sprintf ( "%06.2f" , 0.5 );
$b = sprintf ( "%06.2f" , 1.5 );
var_dump($a);
var_dump($b);
Expected result:
----------------
string(6) "000.50"
string(6) "001.50"
Actual result:
--------------
string(9) "000000.50"
string(6) "001.50"
