Re: mmio: Ensure FOURCC string conversions are null-terminated.

[Eric Pouech]

the explanations for the bug fix look really strange
all the printf use %4.4s form, which will limit output to only 4 chars,
whatever the string is terminated or not
so the crash doesn't come from here
looking quickly at the patch, several remark arise
- in the second & third modification to the TRACE call, are you sure the
test to srcType is relevant (I don't have the code handy, but it may be a
wrong cut & paste)
- more importantly, as the %4.4s form implies a 4 char strings, the strings
used in case of NULL value must be 4 characters long, instead we may get
into trouble
