    The patch looks reasonable though the sprintf's need to be
    turned into snprintf's.  In particular the string looks vulnerable
    to user code that might populate bad values into timeptr.

    There are numerous strcpy's in the code too but I don't know how
    vulnerable those are to the outside.
