+- failure of regexec to report matches at offsets past INT_MAX
+- static-pie executables with initialized thread-local storage crashed
+- printf failed to catch EOVERFLOW in some cases, wrongly produced it in others
+- printf produced wrong output, result for float with precision near INT_MAX
+- printf produced wrong results with alt-form octal, zero flag, & field width
+- printf float rounding was wrong for some midpoint cases
+- swprintf printed junk after internal (256-byte) buffer filled up
+- strtod family rounded incorrectly in several corner cases
