G'day,

does anyone know the following construct? It was found in anteater
which segfaults at that point.

[...]
 sprintf( c_datestring, "year %1$02d, day %2$02d, month %3$04d",
	(int)tmdate.tm_mday, (int)tmdate.tm_mon+1,
	(int)tmdate.tm_year+1900 );
  string newdate = c_datestring;
  return newdate;

I've expanded the format string which is constructed earlier
in the code. I've never seen the use of a "%1$02d" format string nor have I
found any references in books and manuals. When changed to 
"%02d" the program runs fine and displays the correct date format.

Is there a new stdlib with extentions of the current format string? I am 
using egcs-1.1.1 and standard libraries as shipped with NetBSD-1.4.1.

Many thanks in advance...

cheerio Berndt
