However, there is a more structural problem, which will not be solved by just finding out the one message that caused the ICE here, so I don't think there is much value in just fixing this one. The problem is thet we have tons of messages like "Don't do %X with %Y using %Z" and translations like "Versuch %X mit %Z zu tun" Here, the number of %-sequences don't match, which leads to the ICE. I had identified this sometime back last November (+- 1 month; see the mailing list archives), and a quick scan showed that we literally hundreds of these cases. We need to have a process that prevents this up front. Just fixing individual messages is not sufficient. With respect to this particular case: we already have at least one prototypical report about this open. I closed this one as kind-of-a- duplicate.
