Have you tried this with "long" hex strings (i.e. over 16 octets, so they
are displayed split over two or more lines) ?

But that only added an *internal* newline character - it wouldn't have been
triggered the last time through, when len <= 16.
I suspect that _sprint_hexstring_line() may need an extra flag parameter to
indicate whether or not to add this newline character.
But I also agree with Wes:
