Missed that and duplicated the debugging :(
Sorry Sylvain.

I guess my patch may be preferable, since I happened to use the snprintf()
method that you suggest -- all the open-coded digit-counting seems a bit
verbose and perhaps hard to read and see the equivalence to the sprintf.

But certainly Sylvain fixed this quite a bit earlier and he should get credit.
