Actually, some of the tools printf the string, some dump it directly to
the screen. This "fix" was made for the benefit of those tools which
printf those strings as the format string. The correct solution (unless
those strings do sometimes contain conversions!) would be to either
printf("%s", those_strings) or to use fputs(), and get rid of the
% used to escape the other %.
