Have you tried 2.4.12?
Does anyone know if this was a fluke in 2.4.10
or a real problem? I've yet to try 2.4.12.
Oops occurred in vsnprintf() -- actually in the inline func.
"strnlen()" (the only one in the vsnprintf function).
string size is negative and the cmp to -1 won't happen
because it's already -2 (in edx).
