printf "%c" behavious

[G. Vamsee Krishna]

Hello,
        The info page describes printf as 
`printf' prints the FORMAT string, interpreting `%' directives and
`\' escapes in the same way as the C `printf' function.

So, isn't `printf "%c" 65' supposed to print 'A' instead of '6'? Please 
let me know if it's a bug or not. Unable to sleep y'day night, I modified 
the code of printf.c in coreutils-5.2.1 and made a patch. Do I need to 
edit any makefiles?

regards,
GVK
