Nor I.  It's an interesting situation: snprintf.c seems to have 
been re-(dual-)licenced under both Artistic and GPL2+OpenSSL 
exception.

However, the version shipped with xsane is older (perhaps xsane 
itself is, even).

I guess we can just do what Trisquel does and replace it with a 
newer version.  There's also some talk of a ’system snprintf’ that 
may or may not do the job without having to provide our own 
replacement.

Something to investigate.
