The short answer to that is that their snprintf implementation is bogus
beyond repair:

    char buf[5];
    int n1 = snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "Hello world.\n");
    int n2 = snprintf(NULL, 0, "Hello world.\n");
    printf("n1=%d n2=%d errno=%d\n", n1, n2, errno);

yields:

n1=-1 n2=-1 errno=0

The standard mandates: "The snprintf function returns the number of
characters that would have been written had n been sufficiently large, not
counting the terminating null character, or a negative value if an
encoding error occurred."

And the errno codes listed by single Unix make it clear that "encoding
error" does not including buffer too small.

I'll try to think about it. If someone has an idea...
