/*
 * It is not in violation of POSIX, but implementations of snprintf()
 * differ in their ability to handle a situation where the target string
 * to be produced by snprintf() is at the same time providing data, which
 * are to be passed through the format string, and to be part of the new
 * resulting string.  The different BSD unices, as well as OpenSolaris,
 * are known to correctly handle this, whereas glibc is known to fail.
 *
 * This test issues a warning that non-portable behaviour is possible,
 * should the program detect a discrepancy on this system.  If the
 * program detects the macro PACKAGE to have value "inetutils", then
 * get attention with the exit value 77, to fit with our testing
 * frame work.
 *
 * When the environment variable VERBOSE is defined, an encouraging
 * message is issued also in the presence of an enhanced implementation
 * of snprintf().
