Cool.  I was looking at this problem.  Now, I can scratch it off my list.

Another ChangeLog nit.  The lines should be indented to the same level.

Also, you should include your diffs as attachments.  If you inline the
diff in the body of a email, many email programs will mangle tabs to
spaces (which makes it harder to test the patch).

        * io/write.c (output_float):  Typo in error meesage.

Oddly, enough I have a typo in the ChangeLog vis-a-vis meesage. :-0
