The problem should be fixed in the trunk. VampirTrace also comes now with an own
implementation of 'snprintf'. More precisely, the corresponding sources are based on
'opal/util/printf.<c|h>' and located in 'ompi/contrib/vt/vt/util/util.c'.
Concerning this matter, I want to know, whether there is a copyright/license problem.
Should our 'util.c' also contain your copyright headlines from 'printf.c', for instance?

BTW: We are rather sure, that we found a memory leak in the function 'opal_vsnprintf()'.
It seems, that there is a 'free' missing at the and of this function. Can you confirm?

Brad,

We have our version of snprintf, just in case the installed standard  
library doesn't support it. This function called opal_snprintf will be  
aliased to snprintf (./opal/include/opal_config_bottom.h:410). As you  
are supposed to always include opal_config.h as first header in your  
files, using snprintf will always be safe.
