Argh!  I must be getting old.  :-/  Fifteen or twenty years ago,
the first place I would have looked was the disassembly listing.

[ editing, compiling, linking, testing ]

That did it.

I'm surprised that no one has found this before.  Surely other
architectures (Sparc? Alpha? HP PA?) must have this property.
OTOH, I bet that gcc handles sprintf as a special case on those
boxen anyway.  "It works This Way, why should I do it the Right
Way?"  :-/

Thanks, \p.

What's the best way to get this fix merged in?  Shall I send it to
bug...@gn...?
