SimpleIDE Alpha 0-9-nn printing float values in a loop can cause console display corruption

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A) What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Create a simple project that uses printf to display changing float values in a loop. Note:  Requires linking-in the Math Lib
  2. See attached project .zip for an example
  3. Basically: in a loop clear the screen (HOME) and print a changing float value. Clearing the console is a required step in producing this result: Example: printf("%c a float val: %5.3f\n",HOME,floatValue);

B) What is the expected behavior (output)? During each loop, the screen should 
be cleared and all text and values should be printed in formatted positions.

C) What do you see instead? Some text (portions of the float value or other 
text) get printed in random positions below and sometimes inline with the 
correctly printed text. See attached screenshot.

D) Classify the bug as one of the following:
