 Signs and other prefixes reduce the precision in all cases that I looked at:
 
 	printf("%.3d\n", -1);
 	printf("%.3d\n", 1);
 	printf("%+.3d\n", -1);
 	printf("%+.3d\n", 1);
 	printf("% .3d\n", -1);
 	printf("% .3d\n", 1);
 	printf("%#.3x\n", 1);
 
 gives the follow result:
 
 -01
 001
 -01
 +01
 -01
  01
 0x1
