Oh, Bruce. It will be the best solution. I was worried about
the problems with my modifications to snprintf.c Tom Lane
pointed out. But if we really separate snprintf() used by
messages and snprintf() used by the like of
src/backend/utils/adt/int8.c then we are safe. We can claim
current release safe and I will modify src/port/snprintf.c at my
leisure later. I will try out your modifications tomorrow. It
is late here and I have a PostgreSQL class to to teach
tomorrow ;)

I still think that it is more convenient to rip off current
implementation of snprintf.c and replace it with a very much
stripped down of Trio's one. I will work on it and try to get
a patch in one week's time. Thank you all for your patience.

Best regards,
Nicolai Tufar
