Comment 1 Josh Sled 2002-12-22 00:54:42 UTC

This sounds nasty ... unfortunately I can't reproduce. Please describe
in more detail the steps used.  Text strings entered, search-criteria
used, &c.  If allowable, please mail me the file you expereience this
on.  As well, see if you can reproduce with CVS, or alternatively the
next release [1.7.6].

Comment 2 Josh Sled 2002-12-28 20:30:43 UTC

*** Bug 102108 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 3 Josh Sled 2002-12-28 22:33:17 UTC

Now reproducible with the correct LANG and po-file.  Investigating.

Comment 4 Josh Sled 2002-12-28 23:01:29 UTC

Found.  The en_GB.po changes the order of the format params as the
comment suggests, but unfortunately g_string_sprintf can't handle that
paradigm.  It ignores the re-ordering indices ["%3$u ... %2$s"] and
tries to map the originally-ordered params [string and int] into the
format-specifiers [int and string].  When it attempts to find the
string pointed to by the int [3rd param], it crashes.

I think the resolution is to not use g_string_sprintf, which I'll work
towards.

Comment 5 Christian Stimming 2002-12-29 12:40:13 UTC

On the gnome-i18n list, somebody recently noted that "the recently 
released glib-2.1.3 portably supports positional parameters". 

http://lists.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2002-December/msg00022.html

This doesn't help for now, but maybe for a later gnome2 port :-\

Comment 6 Josh Sled 2002-12-29 20:35:18 UTC

Fixed in 2002.12.29 commit; we now use snprintf interally to construct
the string, then g_string_sprintf it in to the output-param.
