This is the UB I'm experiencing:

The first run is wrong, and the second one is correct.  The relevant 
printf(3) lines are:


           printf("....----....----....----....----\n");
           printf("%llb;\n", 0x5Ellu);
           printf("%lB;\n", 0x5Elu);
           printf("%b;\n", 0x5Eu);
           printf("%hB;\n", 0x5Eu);
           printf("%hhb;\n", 0x5Eu);
           printf("%jb;\n", (uintmax_t)0x5E);
           printf("%zb;\n", (size_t)0x5E);
           printf("....----....----....----....----\n");
           printf("%#b;\n", 0x5Eu);


Cheers,

Alex
