Since this is a simple thing to demonstrate, rather than have someone go
to the effort of writing a test program to see if your assertion is
correct, why not submit a test program which demonstrates the problem
that you are allegedly seeing?

You could even take the extra step of submitting a patch to fix this
behavior.  The code in question is in newlib.
