It's not clear to me which of the various versions this test ran
against, but it seems like the printf self-tests got very confused by
the results:

I assume v10 will fix the width issues, but probably not the value tests...
And it claims a use-after-free, too:

Which becomes rather unreadable, since the address got hashed. :P
