Common practice or not, it's wrong.  You aren't allowed to specify
leading zeros for pointers.  Consider the Borland %p format case:

	0x1234

What would the leading zero do?  000x1234?

Note: in your case, the final result would probably be 0x0x00001234

When using %p, you should either use %p as-is, or at most use %8p, but
not 0x%p or 0x%08p or %08p, because you are assuming something about
the printf formatting that you shouldn't.
