POSIX specifies [1]:
"If the value of n is zero on a call to snprintf(), nothing shall be written,
the number of bytes that would have been written had n been sufficiently large
excluding the terminating null shall be returned, and s may be a null pointer."
But in case there are any non-sane libcs out there that do actually dereference
the buffer when when 0 is passed as length to snprintf() let's give them a
dummy buffer.
