I found this one a few months ago, but forgot to post the fix.
I don't have the checked fix on this machine, but it went something like this;

	in function pprintf file ctops.c look for

	case 'e':

	at the bottom of the while loop you will see
			n = *np++;

	change this to
		if(cnt > 0)
			n = *np++;
