When using %*s, sscanf should honor conversion specifiers immediately
following the %*s. For example, the following code should find the
position of the end of the string "hello".
int end;
char buf[] = "hello world";
sscanf(buf, "%*s%n", &end);
printf("%d\n", end);
Ideally, sscanf would advance the fmt and str pointers the same as it
would without the *, but the code for that is rather complicated and is
not included in the patch.
