Comment 1 Puenlap Lee 2013-07-02 10:08:44 MDT 
The 2.5.1 and older version of 2.6 are working fine. I think the problem is in the "extern void print_fields_str "routine in /src/common/print_fields.c file.

The old code was:

			if(strlen(value) > abs_len)
				temp_char[abs_len-1] = '+';
			print_this = temp_char;

and the new code is:
			if (abs_len && (len >= abs_len))
				temp_char[abs_len-1] = '+';
			else if ((abs_len == 0) && (len >= sizeof(temp_char)))
				temp_char[sizeof(temp_char)-1] = '+';
			print_this = temp_char;


I believe that the two ">=" should be just ">".
Comment 2 Danny Auble 2013-07-02 10:09:24 MDT 
I agree.  I am looking at it now.  I'll see why it was changed.
Comment 3 Danny Auble 2013-07-02 10:46:29 MDT 
It appears this is a side effect of commit 0ce7c9aaaf844bbed1e815162103d0a8a24e2c01 dealing with a %0 option in the format string.  I removed the relevant code since it appeared %0 would mess up the formatting of multiple jobs.

Things should be back to normal now after 914992591b28afed573510f5f25e769d1d512e14.

Let me know if you things don't work as you would expect.  Thanks for finding this.
