Ah sorry, should have mentioned that. The bug report is older than your
mail to the list. We had a report on the %s conversion earlier which is
what the patch attached to the bug attempts to fix.

The %i problems are new to me and I tend to think that these are bugs in
the libc and should be fixed there, although it probably would not hurt
to add some more length specifiers...
