Subject[PATCH] Cleanup: snprintf() always NUL-terminates: depend on it
Date
Especially since one very strange piece of code seems to be written in
such a way that a NUL needs to be placed where a NUL is present already.
The author probably meant to fill the last byte of the buffer with a NUL
instead. But regardless of that: that isn't necessary since snprintf()
already guarantees NUL termination for buffers sizes > 0 and <= INT_MAX.
