This bug was first pointed out by Mark Hamilton (with a patch) in the
thread "RuntimeError in _get_configdir".  I've committed his fix to
svn.  Basically, the format string is looking for two arguments where
only one is provided.  Because it only arises in an error condition,
it is a corner of the code that had not been hit before.
