to 150 or 107 characters for those messages which are generated by the embedded server during release builds. This fixes bug#16635: Error messages wrong: absolute path names, "%s" format code See the bug report or the changelog for "sql/share/english/errmsg.txt" for instructions how to do that with other languages, even at the customer site, and for the restrictions to keep. sql/share/english/errmsg.txt: The embedded server uses absolute path names in its error messages, in the release build environment these exceed the 64 character limit which the format strings for the error messages impose (bug#16635). But when the messages are output, the server does the "printf()" internally in a 256 character buffer; the constant text and the expanded variables (strings, error number) must fit into this. (If the buffer would overflow, a format specification will not be expanded but just copied with its code, and the message output will just contain '%s' or '%d' where a value is expected.) So the string lengths are increased to 150 characters in those messages which are issued by the embedded server during release tests and contain 1 (one) path name, but only to 107 in the "rename" message which contains 2 (two). This solves bug#16635 for the release builds. For other languages used by OEM customers, similar fixes may be needed, but we cannot test them. These fixes can be done even in a binary installation at the customer site by following these steps: cd <<install-root>>/share $EDITOR <<lang>>/errmsg.txt ../../bin/comp_err -C./charsets/ <<lang>>/errmsg.txt <<lang>>/errmsg.sys and then restarting the server.
