+Subject: vsprintf: avoid misleading "(null)" for %px
+
+From: Adam Borowski <kilobyte@angband.pl>
+
+commit 3a129cc2151425e5aeb69aeb25fbc994ec738137 upstream.
+
+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.
