Segmentation fault is caused when we use getFormattedString with not enough elements for the second parameter in comparison of the string to be formatted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Write in test.properties "test.value=this test %1$S because we %2$S %3$S... What do you think M. %4$S"
2.In the xul document, create a stringbundle which inserts test.properties, with id="stringbundle"
3.In the js file, try this: document.getElementById('stringbundle').getFormattedString('test.value', ['is terrible', 'crash']);


Actual Results:  
Application crashes, with a segmentation fault

We're not going to invest in StringBundle anymore.
