I think so, but I already installed a simpler fix -- just testing that
*format is non-NUL (as strings are NUL-terminated).

Surely, this is not a generic solution to finding the end of a string
(if string contains other NUL's), but for the specific case it is ok,
since %<NUL> is not a valid format specifier, and Fformat signals an
error for an invalid format string.
