This doesn't happen for me: neither with Windows's original snprintf nor
with the version from compat/. Are you using the latest msysgit
environment to compile, i.e. gcc 4.4? There was a change regarding
SNPRINTF_SIZE_CORR; perhaps that's the culprit?

I don't undertand what this patch does, anyway. Where is the detail that I
am missing?

They also pass for me with your earlier fix-up patch, but with or without
this patch to compat/snprintf.c.
