Great idea, thanks for the patch! But since your copy/paste of it wasn't identical down to the last bit of whitespace and newline(possible disagreement on spaces per tab, etc) I'm having trouble applying it... diff -U is generally preferred these days as it gives more complete information on what's being replaced where, but a full code-listing really can't be that much larger.
But I think I see a potential problem in your use of printf: if your PREFIX variable includes control sequences like %d it will cause printf to do strange things since it will insert parameters from the commandline. Try inserting %s instead of PREFIX, and making "${PREFIX}" the first argument printf is given. This will guarantee the string is printed as 100% literals.
