Summary:
genstring drops format specifiers ("02" (zero-two) as in "%02lu") from my translatable string. The "02" is important in this situation so a time of day will appear as "11:05" rather than "11:5".
    
Steps to Reproduce:
run genstring on a file containing the following:

NSLocalizedString(@"Game time %lu/%lu %02lu:%02lu will next occur %@.", @"Future date+time result message - dialog message")

Expected Results:
a translatable string of:
"Game time %1$lu/%2$lu %3$02lu:%4$02lu will next occur %5$@."

Actual Results:
a translatable string missing "02" in 2 places:
"Game time %1$lu/%2$lu %3$lu:%4$lu will next occur %5$@."

Regression:
I tried it on a simpler file (containing only the line in "steps to reproduce" above). Genstrings produced the same erroneous results.

Notes:
Genstring doesn't seem to output (or contain) version info.  The one on my system is:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  84848 Oct 12  2011 /usr/bin/genstrings
and has a signature (md5) of:
fa463fe0b31667b49a757009d4db031a /usr/bin/genstrings

May I suggest that adding version info to gesturing may be helpful for future troubleshooting? (e.g. in genstring's help text (when run with no parameters or options), or via a command line parameter such as "-version")
