The GNU printf command limits the value of arguments it will accept, for example

$ printf '%.*d\n' 10 0
0000000000
$ printf '%.*d\n' 2147483648 0
bash: printf: warning: 0: Numerical result out of range

The version of printf in this repo does not apply this limit so it will produce 2 billion 0s. This is causing the gnu tests to fail when attempting to generate the final log as it has to process a log from a test that is ~2GB in size.

If this isn't considered a bug then the gnu tests should be patched to remove the problematic check.
