[PATCH] vsprintf: avoid misleading "(null)" for %px

From: Adam Borowski
Date: Sun Feb 04 2018 - 12:45:50 EST


Like %pK already does, print "00000000" instead.

This confused people -- the convention is that "(null)" means you tried to
dereference a null pointer as opposed to printing the address.
