You will want to report this against newlib, I'd think. If I remember
correctly, newlib uses a single guard digit for the conversion and for
such an algorithm the result you see is expected and correct. Whether
any later C standard would mandate to use an algorithm that uses higher
precision (in terms of guard digits you'd end up with 15 for your
example before you get the expected result I think) I have no idea.

Achim.
