     Type:  defect       |      Status:  new    
 Priority:  low          |   Milestone:         
Component:  postgis      |     Version:  trunk

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 In loader/shp2pgsql-core.c the return value of snprintf is compared to -1.
 Anyway, in case of errors the return value might >= the buffer size if the
 output string was truncated or -1 for other errors see man snprintf.
