Sorry, didn't notice this previously, but..
Why *2 here?  Its not wrong per-se, but would it be better to just change
TMPBUFLEN to be 22 bytes unilaterally?  Its only ever used on stack calls that
arent that deep, and then you won't have to think about adjusting this call site
if you ever change the value of TMPBUFLEN in the future.

I'm fine with doing this in another patch later, but it seems like a worthwhile
cleanup

functionality looks good beyond that nit.
