| The behaviour under SCO, HP-UX etc. is not a feature of the NULL

| Solaris 2:

I dunno, I seem to recall the same behavior in SunOS 3.5 on a sun3, so
I don't think it is that Sun has suddenly dropped NULL pointer support
in printf, it never had it.  By the way, the standard stays that such
behavior is undefined.
