Class-Changed-When: Sat Feb 7 14:04:44 UTC 2009
Class-Changed-Why: 
The present implementation of swprintf() could be much better, and the
submitter is rightly offended, but this doesn't seem to be a bug.

Responsible-Changed-When: Sat Feb 7 14:04:44 UTC 2009
Responsible-Changed-Why: 
Reclassify this as a general bug. Although swprintf's behavior of
converting from wide characters to multibyte representations and back
again appears not to be a standards violation, a better implementation
would avoid the extra work.
