Wow.

I wish I understood why any programs are still trying to munge command
lines by replacing strings like '%p' on their own instead of using
actual environment variables and letting the shell (or wordexp() if you
like) do it correctly.  The 'printf' style is useful for constructing
strings of characters, but no good at all at constructing an argument
vector.

In this case we actually need the text of the Device ID completely
unaltered.  It's useless otherwise.
