I'm probably the guilty party for most of those snprintf calls. Sorry.
If I had to guess, I'd say better than 50% of the time, the call
probably is supliferous (where sprintf would really be fine) and
probably near 100% of the time the return value is not checked (so the
benefit is lost). I'll try to go through the sources and replace all
occurrence tonight (-800).
It'd be nice to have a function that was a combination of sprintf and
strdup: char * G_strdupf(const char *fmt, ...); ??
String handling in C is such a PITA...
