+# From: John Haque <j.eh@mchsi.com>

+# 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
