Bug-Description:
Roman Rakus df291d
Roman Rakus df291d
When `printf -v' is used to set an array element, the format string contains
Roman Rakus df291d
`%b', and the corresponding argument is the empty string, the buffer used
Roman Rakus df291d
to store the value to be assigned can be NULL, which results in NUL being
Roman Rakus df291d
assigned to the array element.  This causes a seg fault when it's used later.
