If you need a portable (v)snprintf() implementation, try this one (from
Theo DeRaadt, of OpenBSD fame):
http://www.theos.com/deraadt/snprintf.c
Like I begged before, -please- use this instead of __snprintf() and family
on 2.5.1; people upgrading their operating system shouldn't have to worry
about software that uses unpublished interfaces, and hence breaks.
