What patchlevel is your version of rn?  Mine is level 40. My common.h
(after Configure) does not have the sprintf() declaration at all. When I
compile, there are no pointer type mismatch warnings, so I assume that
the code is not assigning sprintf()'s return value to any pointers (and
the code works fine).

Maybe Configure is finding different things on your system than mine?
I didn't think BT/Intel/ATT V/3.2 would be THAT different from 386/ix.
(When I last ran Configure, I think it was against my 3.0 system, but
the sprintf() function declaration didn't change.)

Can someone else shed more light on this?
