Oh dear. I hadn't realized that Tom had used snprintf so widely. I did
remove it in one place in his code when we were testing, but stupidly
did not do a scan for the other places. (This was the thread you saw in
exim-maintainers.)

(Tom, not Tony, of course.) I have made a note that this needs to be
done. I know that Tom is on vacation next week, and I suspect he is
already away. Hopefully, he will respond when he returns. Ultimately, if
he doesn't fix it, I will, but it will not be for several weeks now, as
I am preparing to run the Exim course next week and then going off to
the SANOG meeting.
