Alexander Belopolsky <belopol...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I agree with Eric.  Limiting field width when formatting error messages is a 
good safety measure.  It is not only the amount of garbage that can be spitted 
in error logs, if garbage is not null-terminated, you may get a SEGV instead of 
a somewhat meaningful error message.
