Thanks. Very strange. I've compiled the test-case below with the
following compiler version (same as my Lua build):
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 14.00.50727.42
for 80x86
And it still crashes on %c. Wondering what exactly is crashing :?
Sorry for the noise if this turns out to be a non-issue. Though I still
suggest adding a minimal supported subset to the manual under os.date if
possible (from the C standard Mark Edgar linked to? (thanks!)).
