Solaris Operating System - Version 11.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

Oracle changed the behavior of the *printf() family of functions in the case where a null pointer is passed in for a %s formatter argument.
Previously the printf() function would crash with a SEGV, unless the library 0@0.so.1 were preloaded, in which case an empty string would be used in the printf() output.

What is the current behavior?
