What is more, when I set the locale of my machine to Turkish and run the

set lc_messages to tr_TR.UTF-8, I don't see lines like Nicolai reported:
LOG: "$s" veritaban?n transaction ID warp limiti $u
I see this:
LOG: "2147484146" veritabanin transaction ID warp limiti postgres
Well, that's pretty broken too :-(. The tr.po file entry is
msgid "transaction ID wrap limit is %u, limited by database \"%s\""
msgstr "\"%2$s\" veritabanın transaction ID warp limiti %1$u"
and if I'm not completely confused, correct translated output would be
"postgres" veritabanın transaction ID warp limiti 2147484146
Nicolai's report looks a bit like what you would expect from an sprintf
implementation that hadn't heard of %n$ specs at all. Your report looks
suspiciously like what our broken version of sprintf was producing last
week --- see
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2005-12/msg00194.php
How certain are you that that config setting is inhibiting use of
port/snprintf.c? It seems unlikely that any other implementation would
have duplicated our bug.
Sorry ... I got into a muddle. I have rerun the tests.
With 8.1_RC1 I *do* get the results Nicolai reported. With the changes I
made yesterday, I see the result above, i.e. what we expect from our own
breakage of sprintf (i haven't yet updated the snapshot I took). I will
now try to verify that the changes you made in pg_sprintf do the right
thing.
We could ask why it appears that one version of libintl works (the one I
got the other day from gnuwin32) and one doesn't (the one that is in the
installer, apparently).
But the simple fix seems to be to use our version of printf and friends.
The changes requires are not too invasive.
