hi!

the entry:

#: src/fmt.c:285
#, c-format
msgid ""
"  -t, --tagged-paragraph    indentation of first line different from second\n"
"  -u, --uniform-spacing     one space between words, two after sentences\n"
"  -w, --width=WIDTH         maximum line width (default of 75 columns)\n"
"  -g, --goal=WIDTH          goal width (default of 93% of width)\n"

has unescaped %. the sequence "% o" will be interpreted by printf and it would expect an argument... and obviously the msgfmt will choke as well.
