Re: [Bug-wget] [PATCH] Regression since wget 1.10: no_prefix function is *bad*

[Tim Rühsen]

Hi Alex,

snprintf %a seems to print the correct result with wine (set to WinXP), but 
the same executable on a real WinXP just prints 'a'.

Replacing the sprintf() by __mingw_sprintf printed the correct result with 
wine and on the WinXP machine.

That is a good idea.
Should Guiseppe create a test branch upstream or how can we go on ?
