Sorry, I wasn't clear. Text::Autoformat has similar errors. I suspect it
is something different in the underlying sprintf function. No idea how
to go about figuring out what versions of the C libraries I have though.
According to the redhat website, I should have glibc 2.2.93 on the
machine. Is that where sprintf lives ?

It also uses gcc 3.2

1.23 here too.

This is an erroneous test I think. The encoding is valid, it just uses
numbers instead of the helper names.
