Hi,
With the following patch, the crash still occurs in the same way. But
it does seem, reading the code, that it still may be necessary.
Re-reading the backtrace, here is another strange thing:
[...]
#7 0x001b79a0 in dopr (buffer=0xffffa4f8 "", format=0x22eab7 ".*g",
args=0xffffb514 "", end=0xffffb4f7 "\r???$") at snprintf.c:561
#8 0x001b75fe in pg_vsnprintf (str=0xffffa4f8 "", count=4096,
fmt=0x22eab6 "%.*g", args=0xffffb508 "") at snprintf.c:83
[...]
Note how the format loses the '%', for no apparent reason.
I see that pg_vsnprintf is defined differently than pg_snprintf,
pg_sprintf, pg_fprintf and pg_printf concerning va_list.
Is there a reason for that ?
