Whups. To put a real percent sign into a (s)printf format, use two
percent signs in a row. This is one of the few cases that backslash is
not the escape character to use, and it's because it's being "sent" to
sprintf, not to the double-quoted string; and sprintf's escape
character is the percent sign.
Hope this helps!
