Yeah.  It seems likely that this is a longstanding ecpglib bug
that was previously masked by platform snprintfs not crashing
on printf("%s", NULL).  If so, it's masked again in 12.8 and
later (cf 3779ac62d), but it's still a bug in that ecpg won't
print anything useful when this edge condition --- whatever it
is --- happens.  So, could we see a test case?
