Hello,

The usage of the %n conversion specifier for printf(3) is widely
discouraged (see [0] for instance).  The OpenBSD libc in particular
logs to syslog every time an application tries to use %n.

Now, in this specific case it's used in a completely safe manner, but
avoiding it seems pretty easy.

Another option would be

	char *emacsdirend = strchr(sockname + tmpdirlen + 1, '/');

but I'm not sure it would be cleaner.

Thanks,

Omar Polo
