Hehe.  They say: "de mortuis nil nisi bene".

   snprintf (vsnprintf) behaves like sprintf (vsprintf), except that no
   more than maxsize characters are placed into the array, including the
   terminating null character. If more than maxsize characters were
   requested, the output array will contain exactly maxsize characters,
   with a null character being the last (when maxsize is nonzero); a
   negative value is returned.

FWIW we had the same problem in MinGW, and Hannes Sixt solved it:

That might give you an idea how to solve the issue.  Maybe you even make a 
git patch out of it?  With a Makefile variable BROKEN_SNPRINTF=YesPlease, 
maybe?

Hth,
