As far as I can see, printf is not calculating strings lengths correctly

Eg:

Hi,
I have acl support on some filesystems, and wanted to turn it on on

But now, whenever I "ls -l" on any folder on that filesystem, I get
"operation not supported". It seems other file system acce

If I have acls enabled on a file, running chmod g=rw on that file,
will not change its group permissions, but the acl mask.
That is, running the following command:
$ chmod g=rw foo

$ setfacl -m m::rw-
... and not, as I would suspect:
$ setfacl -m g:
me some confusion, and I still think
that this isn't obvious.
