printf: %ls or %S does not work when string is of length 1.


Hello,
it seems that cygwin does not correctly handle the %ls format when the
given string
has only one character.

The following program should print
    Test 1 (T)
and that's what it does on Linux 64bit and Windows, when compiled with VS8.0

But cygwin's output is
    Test 1

I've seen this only for 1-wchar strings.
This is will be a problem with the upcoming python 3.0 interpreter, as
reported here:
http://bugs.python.org/issue3626

Is there a problem with cygwin's implementation, or did I miss
something obvious?


/* ======================================== */
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
  wchar_t text[] = L"T";
  printf("Test %d (%ls)\n", wcslen(text), text);
}
/* ======================================== */
