[PATCH v2] ui/console-vc: Silence warning about sprintf() on OpenBSD
Posted by Thomas Huth 1 year, 3 months ago 
The linker on OpenBSD complains:

 ld: warning: console-vc.c:824 (../src/ui/console-vc.c:824)([...]):
 warning: sprintf() is often misused, please use snprintf()

Using g_strdup_printf() is certainly better here, so let's switch
to that function instead.

Could be better by limiting the scope of the variable to this case.
But either way,

I tried that first, but then I need curly braces around the whole case block 
to avoid compiler warnings, which is ugly, too, so I decided to keep it at 
the top.
