GNU Emacs 19.25.94.1 (hppa1.0-hp-hpux7, X toolkit) of Sat Aug 27 1994 on nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu

I'm using emacs 19.25 on goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu.

(format) eats null characters (and everything beyond) in strings with the %s
specifier:

(format "%s" "abc\000") --> "abc"
(format "%s" "abc\000def") --> "abc"
