	There is an obscure bug in do_fio (formatting) that I tripped
over when porting some code that uses a wierd form of list-formatted
input.  If the formatter sees a zero in a format, it will try to do io
forever.  It's not likely that anyone else has had this problem, but
if a fix pops up (recognition of an invalid format, for instance), I'd
like to see it.
