Bug ID: 55918
           Summary: printf() can overrun the "p10s" buffer with certain
                    values when using 24-bit precision
           Product: Wine
           Version: 8.20
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org
          Reporter: z.figura12@gmail.com

Spore, for some reason, sets 24-bit precision on a thread, and when I tried to
enable +d3d, I found that thread crashed with an integer division by zero. The
actual floating point value that triggered the crash is (double)
9.9999982118606567e-01.
The cause is this:
* the log10() call in pf_output_fp() receives 999999940 as an argument
* it returns 9.0, which is... not really correct
* this value is later used to index the p10s array, which is only of length 9
* 0 happens to be the next integer in memory
A quick test suggests that, at least for i386 ucrtbase, native log10() does not
return 9.0, but 8.9999999739423302, which IIRC is the precise value. So
that's... possibly the correct fix.
There may also be a less error-prone and even more efficient way to do that
base-10 logarithm.
