    Problem Text
    The test may fail on implementations that issue a warning and exit
    with a non-zero status if an operand is not completely converted.

    In assertion 57, the following code is found:

    line 4228 var1=`printf "%e" \'+3 2> /dev/null`
    line 4233 var2=`printf "%E" \'-3 2> /dev/null`

    Our implementation produces the correct output, decimal 43 or decimal
    45 (the numeric value of the "+" or "-" character). But, the extra 3
    causes the message; "not completely converted" to be produced on
    stderr and a non-zero exit status. Our implementation behavior is
    consistent with the XCU XPG4 V2 specification.

    In assertion 56, the following code is found:

    line 4040 if out=`printf "$fmt" \'$str 2> printf_err_56`


    The failing input is the following lines:
    %d +3
    %i -3

    With this input line 4040 translates to the following:

    if out=`printf "%d" \'+3 2> printf_err_56`
    if out=`printf "%i" \'-3 2> printf_err_56`


    On page 587, it states that:

    "printf "%d\n" 3 +3 -3 \'3 \"+3 "'-3"

    produces

    3 ....
    3 ....
    -3 ....
    51 ....
    43 numeric value of the character '+' in the ISO/IEC646:1991
    standard codeset
    45 numeric value of the character '-' in the ISO/IEC646:1991
    standard codeset"

    On page 586, there is an example stating that a printf with format parameter
    of %d and an argument of "5a" produces stdout of "5" (analagous to the
    output of "43" in the above example) and a stderr of:
    printf: "5a" not completely converted (analagous to the error output
    given above).
