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.

One of my favorite quotes these days:
The computer "doth make fools of us all," so that any fool without the
ability to share a laugh on himself will be unable to tolerate programming
for long. ''(Gerald M. Weinberg)''

Yes, I think this discussion was valuable, not only because it fixed a
bug, but also because I learnt that %.*s with a negative length defaults
to the total string.
