Hi Paul,

Thanks, but I fixed that two weeks ago:

  http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=b8108fd2ddf7

BTW, that "memory exhausted" diagnostic was bogus.  Once the invalid
format string got past the format-checking code, it violated assumptions
in the asprintf-related code: when asprintf failed due to an invalid
format, we mistakenly reported the only failure we thought possible:
memory exhausted.  I didn't do anything about that, but now that the
format-checking bug is fixed, it should be ok.
