Well I hear you, and I am aware of the kinds of mistakes
you can make while using sprintf / printf, they could
be deadly. I guess the worse mistake you can make with
these functions is calling it badly and it does not outright
access violate. This means that the pin is out in the grenade
but no one has thrown it yet!
But it is possible. What I will do by weekend is to create a
test app to illustrate what I am saying.
