Bug in printf applet?

Hello,
   I recently upgraded to busybox 1.4.1 (was previously using 1.2.2.1)
and found a different behaviour in printf applet.
It seems to no longer understand hex parameters in input.

Here is a sample output of the two releases:

$ busybox-1.2.2.1/busybox printf "%03d\n" 0x11
017

$ busybox-1.4.1/busybox printf "%03d\n" 0x11
0x11-01

With other input formats it all seems to work fine.

Bye,

  Alberto
