The convention is Coverity line first, Fixes line later.

Hi John,

Thanks for fixing coverity issues.

Can you please split patch into a patchset with multiple patches,
grouped to same kind of fixes?

And instead of having "coverity fix" in patch title, can you please
describe what is really fixed, like "fix not null terminated buffer" or
"fix missing function return check" etc ...

Thanks,
ferruh

This also works, but you can prefer to switch snprintf(), which
guaranties the null termination.
