 I thought this had already been changed? May not have ever hit SVN I guess.

Anyway, there really isn't a need for the comments in that patch, otherwise it is good. I believe that there is another instance of vsprintf in that same file; don't suppose you could get that one too in an updated patch?

 It was changed in the Windows version of outwnd.cpp, just not in outwnd_unix.cpp

I'll update the other use of vsprintf() to vsnprintf() in that file.
