Subject:	Bug & fix in %g format

Hi DJ,

Here is the patch for the bug I reported with %g format.  Recall that
trying to print something like 1.000001 using %13.5g format resulted
in 1.000001, not 1., (the latter I believe is correct).  The problem
is in the routine cvt in the file libsrc/c/io/doprnt.c.  In short,
the 0's between the two 1's were not counted as significant.  

If I call the fixed and original versions doprnt.new and
doprnt.old, respectively.  Here is the result of running 

		      diff doprnt.old doprnt.new
