Only %a combined with BigInts seem to be problematic.\r\n\r\n```julia\r\n@sprintf(\"%a\", big\"42\")\r\n```\r\n\r\nIt seems related to `BigInt`s. I'm still new to Julia and am not quite sure how to go about fixing this error or I would do it myself. My coverage tests will include this case/issue commented out."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/JuliaLang/julia/issues/comments/184134444","html_url":"https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/14409#issuecomment-184134444","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/JuliaLang/julia/issues/14409","id":184134444,"user":{"login":"mason-bially","id":1072924,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1072924?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/mason-bially","html_url":"https://github.com/mason-bially","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mason-bially/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mason-bially/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mason-bially/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mason-bially/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mason-bially/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mason-bially/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mason-bially/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mason-bially/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mason-bially/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-15T09:40:34Z","updated_at":"2016-02-15T09:40:34Z","body":"Unfortunately shortly after my last comment here, the Julia community demonstrated what I had hoped would not be true after reading [this](http://danluu.com/julialang/). So I put it on pause to think and finally decided not to make it something I contribute to regularly. I'll update my pull request #14410 but other than that I can't justify contributing to a project with a community having systemic problems."}}
