Wow. I wish I understood why any programs are still trying to munge command lines by replacing strings like '%p' on their own instead of using actual environment variables and letting the shell (or wordexp() if you like) do it correctly. The 'printf' style is useful for constructing strings of characters, but no good at all at constructing an argument vector. In this case we actually need the text of the Device ID completely unaltered. It's useless otherwise. Tim. */
