The POSIX man page of printf(1) mentions - > If the format operand contains no conversion specifications and > argument operands are present, the results are unspecified. In practice, this means some printf implementations throw an error when provided with extra operands, thereby causing the test to fail erroneously. This commit fixes that issue.
