[m-dev.] string__format test failing on taifun

[Fergus Henderson]

Hi,

tests/general/string_format_test is failing on taifun,
with the following difference in the output:

*** string_format_test.exp      Sat Aug 12 01:34:49 2000
--- string_format_test.out      Mon Sep  4 15:01:24 2000
***************
*** 6,12 ****
  `In the beginning there was the text, '.
  
  Following line should have 3, 4, 1 significant figures.
! Strangly, 1.00e-00+  1.000=  2E+00
  
  
  !%0 10.5i!%0+10.5i!%0 -10.5i!%0+-10.5i!
--- 6,12 ----
  `In the beginning there was the text, '.
  
  Following line should have 3, 4, 1 significant figures.
! Strangly, 1.00e+00+  1.000=  2E+00
  
  
  !%0 10.5i!%0+10.5i!%0 -10.5i!%0+-10.5i!


The difference is the sign on the zero exponent.
It looks like the generated output, which has `+', is correct,
while the .exp file, which has `-', looks wrong to me.

Pete, could you please check that, and if I'm right, could you please
fix the .exp file?
