Type and version: RTPC-ROMPC 6.4R
P.S. When stdio.h was modified for the 6.4R release so that sprintf()
would be declared as returning an int, it should have been
*checked* on all platforms before assuming that the right thing
would happen. The fact that it wasn't is irritating.
It wasn't, because we assumed that printf and fprintf were already
doing the right thing. Apparently, this isn't the case.
