Please don't paste entire backtraces in, they're enormous and tend to
obscure the actual content while adding little value.  If needed then
edited highlights work better.  I'm fairly sure I've mentioned this
before...

The indentation is all messed up here, we're misssing a blank line and
the comment is not indented.

Why are these format functions sensible?  Converting a null pointer
dereference into data corruption wouldn't be ideal.  The commit message
should really cover this.
