Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2] buf: Fix possible infinite loop in EscapeString, VSnprintf

The current code will go into an infinite loop if the printf generated string is>= 1000, AND exactly 1 character smaller than the amount of free space in the buffer. When this happens, we are dropped into the loop body, but nothing will actually change, because count == (buf->size - buf->use - 1), and virBufferGrow returns unchanged if count< (buf->size - buf->use) Fix this by removing the '- 1' bit from 'size'. The *nprintf functions handle the NULL byte for us anyways, so we shouldn't need to manually accomodate

for it. Here's a bug where we are actually hitting this issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602772 v2: Eric's improvements: while -> if (), remove extra va_list variable, make sure we report buffer error if snprintf fails
