I have submitted patches to various projects to change references to string

shouldn't we take care of this in printf and friends, and make it
configurable if we want to support this extension or stay with the old
way of handling this? And put a dtace probe there so we could track if
and when its happnening so the admin can make the judgement if the

I have looked in the code and found
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/common/util/string.c#172
which I think is what Linux is doing.
Most of the code where I have encountered the4 problem are logging or debug
statements. You will have difficulty persuading people used to that behavior
that it is a bug and not a feature.
