How is this supposed to fix it ?


                log("%s [%s]", f->genre, f->details);

-               count += sprintf(buf+count, "%s - %s[%s] : %s",
+               err = snprintf(buf+count, __count-count, "%s - %s[%s] : %s",
                                        f->genre, f->version,
                                        f->subtype, f->details);
-
+               if (err < 0)
+                       break;
+               else
+                       count += err;
                if (f->opt_num)
                {
                        loga(" OPT: ");

snprintf returns the number of characters written if n <= limit, otherwise
the number of characters that would have been generated for the given input,
but never < 0. You can also use vscnprintf to get the real number of bytes
written.
