Warning: "format not a string literal and no format arguments"

Viewed 86974

Since upgrading to the latest Xcode 3.2.1 and Snow Leopard, I've been getting the warning

"format not a string literal and no format arguments"

from the following code:

NSError *error = nil;

if (![self.managedObjectContext save:&error]) 
{
    NSLog([NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@, %@", 
       errorMsgFormat, 
       error, 
       [error userInfo]]);      

}

If errorMsgFormat is an NSString with format specifiers (eg: "print me like this: %@"), what is wrong with the above NSLog call? And what is the recommended way to fix it so that the warning isn't generated?
