Possible bug in compiler v5 on PIC24 - float variables

[Radegast]

Test done on PIC24FV32KA302.
This simple code was compiled with the version 4 and it has run on the chip correctly, but same code compiled with version 5 return the value two times and cause malfunction of the microcontroller.
The output was read through serial port.

(putting this code into a function)
-----------
float res;
res=3.5;
printf("%.2f\r",res); // to serial port
--------------

compiled with v4 return -> 3.5
compiled with v5 return -> 3.5
3.5

I have checked also with float variable into a function, the compiler v5 caused that the function is called two times.

Could you confirm it is a bug?

Historically, CCS on several compiler versions has had problems with float formats that do not have a field width. So I'm 'not surprised'. It's far safer to specify a width,
