The output of ".%03u" with the unsigned int in range [0, 4294966295] may
get truncated if the target buffer is not 12 bytes. This can't really
happen here as the 'remainder' variable cannot exceed 999 but the
compiler doesn't know it. To make it happy just increase the buffer to
where the warning goes away.
