In Solaris if the magnitude of the exponent part of a floating-point value
is small enough, java prints only two digits. At the same time, in Windows
three digits are always printed. Thus execution of the following test:

public class test
{
public static void main(String argv[])
{
System.out.println(Float.MAX_VALUE);
}
}

produces the following results:

in Solaris: 3.40282e+38
in Windows: 3.40282e+038
