> What is snprintf? 
It is an 'sprintf' that allows you to specify a buffer limit.  There's
a couple of flavors that it comes in (and they're incompatible).  I guess
it's available on roughly half of the compilers people are using now.
  
(I don't believe it's either ANSI or POSIX - but it is present in Solaris).

For our purposes, it's not useful - I don't want to truncate strings
just to avoid buffer overflow.
