Ok, I have finally installed your patch.  Thanks again!  (I wrote a
basic ChangeLog entry, but please do that yourself for the next
patch.)

I used your examples as test cases, but cannot reproduce some:

I get

  guile> (number->string 0.25 2)
  "0.010"
  guile> (number->string 11.33333333333333333 12)
  "B.400000000000009"
  guile> (number->string 1.324e44 16)
  "5.EFE0A14FAFDF8e24"

The first looks certainly wrong, but I'm not sure about the other two.
Richard, could you try to investigate this?
