Description:
        Bash mishandles the %b printf format if a zero precision is specified.
        It ignores the precision; it should print nothing instead.

Repeat-By:
        $ printf '%.0b-%.0s\n' foo bar
        foo-

        The correct output is '-'.  Solaris ksh handles this correctly.

Fix:

2001-04-27  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * builtins/printf.def (printstr):
        Print nothing if a zero precision is specified.
