Leafnode 1.10.7.rel contains a minor portability fix to systems that
have an snprintf function that is unsuitable for leafnode and could
cause an abort. The "GROUP.NAME not found in groupinfo file" message
will now only appear at verbose levels 2 and higher.

You can skip this update if your previous leafnode version compiled for
you and you aren't annoyed by the message mentioned above.

### BUGFIX
+ The shipped snprintf function didn't report the proper size for
  literals. It now does. Report by Michael B=C3=A4uerle.
+ Pull snprintf/vsnprintf replacements from the libc's name space,
  prefixing them with ln_ on linker level. This avoids our overriding
  libc's snprintf/vsnprintf which may cause bogus aborts when other
  parts of the libc (syslog for instance) use formatting characters that
  our minimal vsnprintf implementation does not support.
  Fixes an abort reported by Michael B=C3=A4uerle on a system that had
  a non-working snprintf function.

### CHANGE
+ The "GROUP.NAME not found in groupinfo file" message will now only
  appear at verbose levels 2 and higher, to avoid uninteresting output
  when a group has just been deleted but is still in interesting.groups.
  Reported by Berthold H=C3=B6llmann.

### INTERNAL
+ The use of the shipped snprintf function for testing purposes can now
  be forced by running: env FORCE_SHIPPED_SNPRINTF=3Dyes ./configure --op=
ts
