The problem should be fixed in the trunk. VampirTrace also comes now
with an own
implementation of 'snprintf'. More precisely, the corresponding sources
are based on
'opal/util/printf.<c|h>' and located in
'ompi/contrib/vt/vt/util/util.c'. 
Concerning this matter, I want to know, whether there is a
copyright/license problem.
Should our 'util.c' also contain your copyright headlines from
'printf.c', for instance?

BTW: We are rather sure, that we found a memory leak in the function
'opal_vsnprintf()'.
It seems, that there is a 'free' missing at the and of this function.
Can you confirm?
