    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations where the intermediate value is not
    the same as the test expects.

    The printf Extended Description states,

    If an argument operand cannot be completely converted into an
    internal value appropriate to the corresponding conversion
    specification, a diagnostic message will be written to
    standard error and the utility will not exit with a zero exit
    status, but will continue processing any remaining operands
    and will write the value accumulated at the time the error was
    detected to standard output.

    The standard does not specify how the operands are converted, so the
    intermediate value is not deterministic. An operand can be evaluated
    left-to-right, right-to-left, or in some other fashion.
