Is Watcom's snprintf broken?

I’ve recently ported two packages (shadow, wu-ftpd) to QNX. I got past the
configuration and porting problems but couldn’t get them to run until I
recompliled them using the snprintf.c included in shadow’s lib directory.
The one in clib3r kept causing segment violations. Everything appears to be
working fine now. Is this a general problem or just something broken on my
system?

“#define snpribtf _bprintf” inside stdio. :slight_smile: works fine for me without any
SIGSEGVs.
