    _______________________________________________________

Details:

When parsing a -printf argument, insert_fprintf treats a lone \ incorrectly
when it's the last character of the argument, reading beyond the terminating
NUL, e.g.

find . -printf "%f\"

This is hard to notice because the final make_segment call does  take the
terminating NUL into account.
