Re: [PATCH] services: Avoid buffer overruns in test_runner and START_TEST.

[Gerald Pfeifer]

I never got a response to my patch below (and, yes, I checked the
list archives).

More than two years later the following, essentially identical, 
patch by Rémi was applied:

commit bcbe1d120cf6f68dd6a888b488050b3db33d1e5c
  Author: Rémi Bernon 
  Date:   Tue Feb 11 19:09:33 2020 +0100

services/tests: Fix some format-overflow warnings.

Hmm...
