	Hello, world.(I am a user of 4.3BSD on VAX)
	Something wrong with `printf("%c",0)' on AWK of BSD.

n125:101%awk 'BEGIN{printf("%c",0);exit}' |wc
       0       0       0
n125:102%awk 'BEGIN{printf("%c",1);exit}' |wc
       0       0       1

	I guess AWK uses sprintf().
					thank you.

PS: It works fine on gawk.
