Never mind.  This is a bug in the newlib scanf family implementation
(actually, in __svfscanf_r in libc/stdio/vfscanf.c) that causes it to read
strings of the form 0x0+ incorrectly.  Attached is a testcase that
demonstrates the bug.  I suspect the following change:

2004-04-21  J"orn Rennecke <joern DOT rennecke AT superh DOT com>

        * libc/stdio/vfscanf.c (NNZDIGITS): New define.
        (__svfscanf_r): In integer conversions, leave out leading zeroes
        which are not part of a base prefix.
        Keep track of width truncation to fit into buf, not counting left-out
        zeroes against width till the truncation has been compensated for.

HTH,
	Igor
