Bug-Description:
287226
287226
When `printf -v' is used to set an array element, the format string contains
287226
`%b', and the corresponding argument is the empty string, the buffer used
287226
to store the value to be assigned can be NULL, which results in NUL being
287226
assigned to the array element.  This causes a seg fault when it's used later.
