Summary: replace sprintf with PyOS_snprintf

Initial Comment:
Some or all of the sprintf calls we make are vulnerable
to buffer overflows.  A few of these calls use
stack-allocated buffers, which are real security problems.

MAL has fixed three of them, but if we're going to fix
any we need to fix them all.

We'll try to finish this task as soon as possible.
