Here are the results of running the test program:

go32 version 1.12.maint3-disp Copyright (C) 1994 DJ Delorie    
13697024                                                       
    -0.010

Is it reasonable that sprintf allocates 33K?

The test program is:

#include <dpmi.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>

main() {
  char s[100];

  cout<<_go32_dpmi_remaining_physical_memory()<<endl;
  sprintf(s,"%10.3f",-0.01);
  cout<<s<<endl;
  cout<<_go32_dpmi_remaining_physical_memory()<<endl;

  return 0;
}


Compiled with 
gcc leak.cpp -lgpp
