Heh...

Thought process went like this:

- fix sprintf() to use snprintf()
- notice setup_tracking() uses sprintf() and think about fixing it too
- realize setup_tracking() does bounds checking first and its use of sprintf()
  is therefor safe.
- go to copy the bounds checking code from setup_tracking() to the area you
  commented on.
- realized duplicating the code was dumb and I could just re-use what was
  already in setup_tracking() via what was just sent.

Sure I can. I really hope after all this work the patch gets accepted.
