I hope we've both just missed something obvious.
Okay, we were certainly missing something, but I don't believe
I would call it obvious.
I can't deduce from the documentation the fact that the "p"
format requires a length *in front of the p in the format string*.
Furthermore, it assumes a length of 1 if one is not specified.
And there is no example that shows how to do it correctly.
(I did Google searches and found examples, but by then I
was looking for a bug report and didn't even think to look
at the examples themselves. :-( )
Doc bug? Did anyone else find the documentation on "p"
to be clear and effective?
