is_directory() uses sprintf() which could potentially result in a
stack buffer overrun.  Change to use snprintf() and assert that
the output fits in the buffer.

A better fix would be to pass the directory fd in and use fstatat()
but I don't know whether you want to support older kernel versions
or C libraries that don't support this.
