>Description:
printf(1) doesn't handle the sequence \0 correctly in format strings:

  $ printf 'foo\0bar' | hd
  00000000  66 6f 6f                                          |foo|
  00000003

The expected result is:

  $ printf 'foo\0bar' | hd
  00000000  66 6f 6f 00 62 61 72                              |foo.bar|
  00000007
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Borrow code from NetBSD's printf(1)...
