See http://nstx.dereference.de/snippets/qex.c. The reason is an unterminated bufferstring in Qvsnprintf. I looked at version 4.05fc2 and there is a change, but i think that change isn't correct. /* From File common/snprintf.c */ if ( nSize == 0 && *p != '\0' ) { *s = '\0'; return -1; } else return ( (n-1) - nSize ); /* when string that should be written to the buffer fits exactly, * than there will no Zero-Byte be written to buffer, cause the for * loop terminates when nSize is 0 and the terminating '\0' of p is not * copied to buffer ;-( */ Ithink, it should be written as : if ( nSize || *p=='\0') { *s++ = *p; return ( (n-1) - nSize ); } else{ *s++ = '\0'; return -1; } Please excuse my bad english. regards Harald Hellmuth ------------------------------ snap --------------------------------------- with best regards -- Harald Hellmuth E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
