The buffer steps_msg[32] is too small. Translated "(roughly %d step)" string can not be located in the buffer. Solution: using xstrfmt which dynamically allocates memory. Dummy solution: just increase steps_msg size but is not safe. That feels pretty hacky, though. In practice the set of translations is contained, but it doesn't have to be (and certainly nobody would notice if a new translation was added with a longer name until a user complained). Reproduce bug: "LANG=ru_RU.UTF8 git bisect start v4.9 v4.8" on linux sources.
