This is the problem. vsnprintf and snprintf return the number of characters 
that would have been put in the string had it been long enough I don't think 
sprintf does this and as a result marked_message_printf crashes. Off the top of 
my head I'm not sure how you would fix this. I'm surprised snprintf isn't part 
of OSF!
