Sergei,

hmm, thats funny.....

Without that define it is only 152 bytes.
That is 664 bytes difference.
BUT #define BUF changes only from 40 to 326.

Incredible, but I think I can reduce this easily:
cvt(), round(), and exponent() are all inlined.
However, char expbuf[MAXEXP] is 308 bytes!!!

but the largest possible exponent, "308", needs 3 only bytes.
Good you asked about that. Thanks!

This will reduce the stack use by 305 bytes.

Ok, I am going to fix that stack issue too, and if you do not mind,
I'd also like to fix the %g issue [Bug #1001628] and submit a cumulative
patch at [Bug #20804].

Thanks,
Bernd.
