Thanks. I'll fix this for the next release. It should be easy.
Currently, puts() will correctly send 0's to a file,
but printf() and sprintf() terminate the string at a 0 character.
Euphoria's printf() is more than just a wrapper for C's
printf(), in fact C's printf() is not even called to handle
Euphoria's %s format.
But, yes, at one point in the code, I slipped, and allowed
a 0 to terminate a string unexpectedly.
