Description erich 1996-04-12 15:00:01 UTC 
the builtin printf in sh(1) behaves differently than
/usr/bin/printf, specifically:

Fix: 

I'm working around by specifying /usr/bin/printf for
strings that require '0' padding.
How-To-Repeat: 
(ttyp0@jake)$ /bin/sh
(ttyp0@jake)$ printf "%04d\n" 12
  12
(ttyp0@jake)$ /usr/bin/printf "%04d\n" 12
0012
