Without further ado, the following was found:

Issue:    Why is "Undefined Behaviour" capitalized?

"Use of the numeric conversion specifiers produces Undefined Behavior for "
"invalid input.  See E<.UR https://port70.net/\\:%7Ensz/\\:c/\\:c11/\\:n1570.";
"html\\:#7.21.6.2p10> C11 7.21.6.2/10 E<.UE .> This is a bug in the ISO C "
"standard, and not an inherent design issue with the API.  However, current "
"implementations are not safe from that bug, so it is not recommended to use "
"them.  Instead, programs should use functions such as B<strtol>(3)  to parse "
"numeric input.  Alternatively, mitigate it by specifying a maximum field "
"width."
