On OS X the printf specifier "%.0s" outputs the entire string instead
of 0 characters as POSIX states.

Does not reproduce for me:

Nor for me, as I noted on the other thread...  And looking again, I
was reading the man page for printf(1), not printf(3).  Ouch.
*grumble, grumble*  I'm crawling back under my rock now.

Heh, people make mistakes and others are here to help spot them.
Collectively we all win.

Thanks for a breakage report, initial fix and a confirmation.
