 Hi Benny, many thanks for you help. I have tried to apply the patch but it does not apply to pkgsrc-current go-dtoa.c file (I did upgrade to -current 
 just goffice and gnumeric directories to test as someone pointed out. What version of pkgsrc should I have prior to patch application? 2025Q4? Tell me 
 please and I will downgrade both directories and apply the patch (only one line change but I want to do it well)
 
 Thanks so much.
