Description:
------------
When I use the apostrophe (') modifier to select a padding character in printf, 
it behaves buggy, when the padding length itself is prefixed by zeroes.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
echo sprintf("%'.9s\n", "foo");
echo sprintf("%'.09s\n", "foo");

Expected result:
----------------
......foo
......foo


Actual result:
--------------
......foo
000000foo

The current behaviour seems to be in line with what libc does, both on Linux and Solaris (and gcc and suncc):

$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>

void main() {
	printf("%'.09i\n", 123);
}

$ gcc -otest test.c
$ ./test 
000000123

It should be  documented that 0 as padding specifier overwrites a manually set one.
