Document it as a known bug, but one where we don't provide a workaround since programmers are unlikely to hit it in practice. * doc/posix-functions/fprintf.texi (fprintf): Document it. * doc/posix-functions/printf.texi (printf): Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/vfprintf.texi (vfprintf): Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/vprintf.texi (vprintf): Likewise.
