I do not mind at all.  And thank you for picking things up.
One thing, but my memory is failing (old age ?) it was about
_filbuf() or something, this was not clearly related to snprintf()
but it was trigger by it.  stdio was trying to do fflush()
on _IOSTR buffer or refill its buffer, which it should not do.
Maybe Eli has a trace in its email archive about this.

BTW, nice job, unfortunately I can not test it for you.
