mod_php 4.3.0 produce a strange sprintf behaviour

for($t=0;$t<10;$t++) {
	$r=(float) rand(0,10000)/3;
	echo $r." -> ".sprintf('%.3f',$r)."\n";
}

will produce ...

1975.33333333 -> ?.000
508.333333333 -> ,.000
2483.66666667 -> ?.000
61.6666666667 -> m.000
2514.66666667 -> I00.000
2499.66666667 -> *0.000
1957.33333333 -> ?0000.000
3167.33333333 -> 0.?00
655.666666667 -> 600.000
3321.66666667 -> ).000
2256.33333333 -> 0.S00
383.666666667 -> 0.,00
1565.33333333 -> M.000

I suppose there's something wrong with glibc 2.3.1

Any ideas?

It works fine here (glibc 2.1.3)

Works fine here to.
Do you have any locales exported?

The strange behaviour was related to a strange combination of gcc and glibc. Nothing was usefull (gcc and glibc recompilation). I had to compile gcc and glibc on another machine, copy binaries of gentoo emerge binary option system and all now is working fine.
It was a library problem.
