Do not use "PATH_MAX + 1".

By using PATH_MAX instead of PATH_MAX +1 and by using snprintf() instead of sprintf() and finally checking the return value of snprintf() the error no longer exists. > > > After taking care of those bugs above, and looking at the constants such as '2147483645' > and '2147483648' in the compiler's complaints, it is obvious that the compiler erred > when tracking the result value from some call to strlen().

If still interested here is the srpm [1] (the patch is in tmp.diff) Thanks everyone for all the input!!! It was definitely appreciated!! steved.
