Comment 2 Robert Frohl 2024-03-22 14:37:10 UTC 
format_fractional_part_nsecs() was introduced during the development phase of 4.2, i.e. with 4.1.1. Therefor never went into an earlier released version, meaning 4.0 or earlier.
Comment 3 Robert Frohl 2024-03-22 14:38:31 UTC 
fix is part of 4.2.0 (commit c3720cff158c265dec2a0c6104b1d65954ae6bfd)
Comment 4 Robert Frohl 2024-03-22 14:39:24 UTC
