You're right of course. It somehow slipped in ...

snprintf should output number of outputted chars not including trailing \0
AFAIK, so 0 is correct. gcc-3.1 20020210 emitted warning about empty
format string. Maybe it will not be so later, so I left snprintf in
comment. We could also revert this change when (if) we'll need some real
snprintf there.
