Previously, we used the platform's NL_ARGMAX if any, otherwise 16. The trouble with this is that the platform value is hugely variable, ranging from the POSIX-minimum 9 to as much as 64K on recent FreeBSD. Values of more than a dozen or two have no practical use and slow down the initialization of the argtypes array. Worse, they cause snprintf.c to consume far more stack space than was the design intention, possibly resulting in stack-overflow crashes. Standardize on 31, which is comfortably more than we need (it looks like no existing translatable message has more than about 10 parameters). I chose that, not 32, to make the array sizes powers of 2, for some possible small gain in speed of the memset. The lack of reported crashes suggests that the set of platforms we use snprintf.c on (in released branches) may have no overlap with the set where NL_ARGMAX has unreasonably large values. But that's not entirely clear, so back-patch to all supported branches. Per report from Mateusz Guzik (via Thomas Munro).

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
