# Subject: gawk printf format bug 

# 

# Hi.

# 

# I think this is a bug:

# 

# $ gawk 'BEGIN { printf("%.0x%#x%#x\n", 0, 167, 167)}'

# 570xa7

# 

# It should print 0xa70xa7.

# 

# The solution is to initialize base to 0 in the beginning

# of the while loop along with other stuff (format_tree).

# 

# Thanks.

# 

# John
