Wow. I'm guessing the parsing of the .xml feed file is badly broken? If the string was getting passed somehow as the first argument to something like sprintf(), I could see a crash happening, but the first argument should be a fixed format string, not incoming data.
- elicash 8y agoWeirdly, when they simply changed the title from "99% Invisible" to "99% invisible" that solved it.
- paulrpotts 8y ago"% i" might(???) be interpreted as "print a decimal number without including the sign," where "% I" is (I think?) not a valid format string. This is pretty speculative though. And it still doesn't make a lot of sense to me that part of the file name would be interpreted as a format string.
