Thanks for these results. I've added them to printf.m4. For NetBSD, the
printf improvements (which they borrowed from FreeBSD) appear to be also
on the branch for NetBSD 4.0, therefore I've noted "NetBSD 4" instead of
NetBSD 4.99.13, although I couldn't directly test it.

The failures of %n on HP-UX were in the truncated tail of an snprintf() call.
I've now added the corresponding test:
