I believe that %p is in the ANSI C standard. Solaris with it's own very
special C compiler.. Unfortunately, standard doesn't really define, how the
pointer should look like. Hence lack of 0x in some implementations and
(nil). As for the last one, I believe that

    buffer is: (nil)

still looks better than:

   buffer is: 0x(nil)

If we want even more portability we may employ PRIxPTR macro from
stdint.h/inttypes.h(which didn't present in Solaris 2.8 at least :>) and
cast to uintptr_t. But not sure we need such a complications.
