------- Comment #3 from jvdelisle at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-08-25 16:26 -------
All that garbage string ∗ is an * (asterisk)
Character encoding got cobbled up there.
I want to add that the key to this question is that '*' is a character
expression form of the format specifier so 10.1.2 applies. Also, * is not an
edit-descriptor.
