We're not using snprintf().  I don't understand, I thought peter had
incorporated his version, as his is far supperior to what Eric or I
proposed.

  Subject: statustatus of syslog patch?
  What is the status of the patch for the buffer overflow in syslog()?
  I checked FreeBSD-current as of 10/19 and the sccs id still says:
  "@(#)syslog.c    8.4 (Berkeley) 3/18/94"
  
  Does anyone plan to integrate it into the source tree?  If not, can someone
  please send me a copy of syslog.c that safely and intelligently uses
  snprintf to limit buffer overflows?
  
  Thanks,
  Nate
