I suggest to forgo the length check for simplicity because this function is only called with data that is already guaranteed to be less than 1000 bytes, i.e.: strncpy(msg, prefix, sz); /* data is guaranteed to fit due to packet length limit in read_head_info() */ sz += vsprintf(msg + sz, err, params); msg[sz++] = '\n'; msg[sz++] = '\0'; -- Hannes
