[patch] for the printf.3 man page

[patch] for the printf.3 man page

Hi,

I would like to propose the attached patch for the printf(3) man page.

The patch adds the following sentence to the description of the ' flag 
(aka. thousands separator):

Note  also  that the default locale of a C program is "C" whose
locale information indicates no thousands' grouping  character.
Therefore,  without a prior setlocale(3) no thousands' grouping
  characters will be printed.


Best Regards,
Jürgen Sauermann
