One possible cause of a difference in behavior is character class
handling including multibyte characters of isdigit and strtol.  If
isdigit accepts '一' as a digit (some platforms might do this) , and
strtol doesn't (I believe it is universal behavior), '%一0p' is
converted to '%' and the pointer moves onto '一'. But I don't think we
need to do something for such a crazy specification.
