If snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "[%ld] ", (long) getpid()) is
judged to possibly overrun the buffer by your static analysis
tool, I think the tool is broken.  It at least should know how
big a printed long can be.  It would earn bonus points if it can
warn me when sizeof(buf) is sufficiently small, say 40 bytes,
with a message like "on future architectures with 128-bit long
this code might break" ;-).
