 I must apologise - I'm lazy.  Now that I've bothered to look at the
 problem I can see that it's impossible to fix.  I think that so that
 others don't make the same mistake I made it would be nice to have it
 documented in the man page that you must 'declare' all parameters when
 you're using a positional argument, even if you put %1$0.0f so they don't
 appear.
