So, I've looked at places where we use "%.*s" with "prefix" nearby,
and it seems that this is the only place.
The "prefix" being a NULL is a perfectly valid state throughout the
system and means a different thing than it being an empty string, so
it is valid for callers of prefix_path() and prefix_path_gently() to
pass prefix=NULL as long as they pass len=0.
So perhaps this is all we need to fix your box.
