Greetings, Last April we have made some changes to src/ports/snprintf.c so that it would support argument reordering like %2$s, %1$d and such on platforms where original snprintf() does not support it, like Windows, HP-UX or NetBSD.
NLS messages of some languages, like Turkish, rely heavily on argument reordering because of the language structure. In 8.1 Turkish messages in Windows version are all broken because argument reordering is not there. I examined commit logs and came to conclusion that src/port/snprintf.c is not included in server when compiling under Windows because of change to src/port/Makefile made in revision 1.28 by Bruce Momjian. See here: http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/port/Makefile Comment to the commit says: `No server version of snprintf needed, so remove Makefile rule.' In fact I think we need snprintf in server because NLS messages are printed by the server.
