But there's one thing that just stroke me (as pointed out in the
original email)
vsnprintf(s, 10, 12345) returned 5 <- ok
vsnprintf(s, 1, 123) returned 3 <- AFAIK not according to the old
specification (should be -1)
vsnprintf(s, 2, 123) returned -1 <- ok
Changing the interface of vsnprintf now for glibc 2.0.7 is IMHO
not a good idea now - but can we live with this bug?
