Christopher Hall abbcef30df printf.3: Correctly describe the meaning of a negative precision 
The printf(3) manpage says that a negative precision is taken to
be zero, whereas printf(3p) says that a negative precision is
taken as if the precision were omitted.  glibc agrees with the
latter (POSIX) specification.

Test code:

    printf("%f\n",42.0);      // "42.000000"
    printf("%.*f\n",0,42.0);  // "42"
    printf("%.*f\n",-1,42.0); // "42.000000"

This patch corrects the explanation to match what actually happens.
