Summary: Tcl_PrintDouble formatting error ?

Initial Comment:
Apparently the Tcl_PrintDouble() can in some situations print superfluous trailing '0's when converting a double value to a string rep.

This is seen in the testsuite of tcllib::math::calculus, when run against Tcl 8.5 or 8.6 branch heads. The 8.4 branch is ok.
