+# At least for ORS5.0.2, prefer sprintf() over gcvt(), since gcvt()
+# used to cause a SIGFPE and a core dump when passed a NaN.
+# This may not be an issue in perl-5.8.x and later since we
+# try to trap SIGFPE.  However, preferring sprintf() should be
+# safe anyway, so let's go ahead and set it.  See the bugs database
