Weird float problem

I've got a DECsystem 5000/240 running NetBSD 2.0.2, and I'm having a weird
problem with floats. For example, when I run uptime, I get corrupted output
like this:

# uptime
 4:24PM  up  1:20, 1 user, load averages: 0.C, 0.1N, 0.12

I get similar corruptions with w, top, and package version numbers (which
really throws off pkgsrc). Has anyone else seen this problem, or know how
to solve it?

I haven't seen anything like that here.  Does a simple program
that just prints a floating point number fail the same way?  Eg:

	#include <stdio.h>

	main()
	{
		printf("load averages: %.2f, %.2f, %.2f\n",
		    0.123, 0.234, 0.345);
	}

Cheers,
Simon.
