## #13073 — Markus Bertheau — 2004-09-30T09:32:36+00:00

Hi,

I observed a long standing bug in the implementation of printf. When you
want to reuse arguments using the %n$s syntax, printf wants one argument
too many. Please review the attached patch and let me know if it can be
commited.

I created bug 29733 for this. http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=29733

If this is not the right mailing list, please let me know.
