[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42345] fprintf('''%''') throws error

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #42345 (project octave):

That is kind of a suspect usage example, though. I mean when that sort of
thing comes up in a C program, you have to make sure you escape % characters
in your string before ever passing them to a printf-like function. That should
definitely be fixed in whatever usage you're seeing this with. The ncdisp
function here shouldn't even be using fprintf, it should use puts(msg)
instead.

If we're going to change anything, we should make it more Matlab-compatible,
so that would be discarding the rest of the string after the bad conversion
specifier I guess.
