  | I know what is happening with that, and I will fix...
  |
  | The problem relates to a difference of opinion/misunderstanding
  | of the 'F' (new style) format operator
  |
  | The man page says...
  |
  | 	 Describes a multi-bit field like `f', but just extracts the value
  |
  | and when we look at 'f', what it says is ...
  |
  | 	Describes a multi-bit field [....]
  | 	The remaining characters are printed ...
  |
  | If F is just like f then it needs "remaining characters" even though
  | the F format doesn't use them.

Upon reflection, I'm inclined to instead leave the fixed code the
way it is, and change  the ATF tests to use it that way (omitting the
noise bytes after F format that it currently supplies for this purpose).
