Here is a problem discovered by a student.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#include <stdio.h>
float h;
main()
{
printf(" give step: ");
scanf("%f",&h);
}
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It loggs you out while readind a number starting with zero and point, i.e
"0.". All other numbers like .73737 .6464 123.45 1.2233 5.666 etc. are
read OK. Has anybody had this problem?
P.S. I've tested this same program on a VAX and SUN and I was logged
out as well while giving a number 0.
P.P.S. I wanted to post this letter to all other concerned groups as
well but I had already sent it );-)
