/* There's two ways we can generate error messages - with different tradeoffs:
* If we do a function call, we have to use a static buffer.
* If we use a macro and ANSI C's string splicing, we have to use constant
* strings - and accept a certain amount of overhead from inserting the
* boilerplate text.
*
* Why the concern about performance? Error messages are only generated
* in exceptional situations -- sof 9/98
*
* sof 9/98 : Removed use of non-standard (and wimpy :-) snprintf().
