Details:

The debian build stops because of compilation security error for render-test.c
during the build process. The following message is shown:

=============== ERROR LOG ==========

tests/output/render-test.c: In function ‘read_table’:
tests/output/render-test.c:491:19: error: format not a string literal and no
format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
make[5]: *** [tests/output/render-test.o] Fehler 1
=============== ERROR LOG ================

The warning is given, because the function tab_footnote results in printf. But
in the test scenario the format string is not a literal and no additional
arguments are given.

The attached patch avoids the security warning during compilation.
