Several programs that I've used for years are failing under BSDI 2.0, which
is the first version of BSDI I've used. I've traced the problem to sprint
function calls like the one below.
int val;
char msg[1024];
sprintf(msg, "%s", (val ? "something" : "else") );
This type of statement appears in several programs, and they are all
crashing on the sprintf.
Do I need to use some special gcc option, or is recoding needed to work
around a compiler problem, or what?
