As mentioned occasionally, we run on more than Linux. So this is only
safe if all supported platforms can handle
printf( "%s\n", NULL );
correctly - Solaris, all the BSDs, MacOS, Windows(!), AIX.
"It works on Linux" is good, but this is a "boolean and" condition - it
needs to work on *all* supported platforms.
I'm not generally opposed to modernizing the code, but the onus of
recherching whether such a change is safe is on the proposer.
