Package: coreutils
Version: 5.2.1-2

from man page:

        FORMAT controls the output as in C printf.  Interpreted sequences are:
        [...]
        \c     produce no further output

but executing
        printf "one\n\cword\n"

produces
        one
        \cword

interestingly, on our freebsd system the man page says the same thing 
and their binary isn't acknowledging the \c either.  same source?

using libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22
