OK, I am confused.  We have HAVE_SNPRINTF, but I don't see it being used
anywhere.  Is it still relivant to our code?  Does NT not have snprintf?

Seems this is getting in our way.  We could try  undefining it before
defining it, I guess.  I don't think it affects the compile.

Running NT.  I know it works on that because we have gotten patches from
people.

The bugs list is open to anyone, right?  It should be.
