Fred -- in your case, there is no need for sprintf -- a few sizeof(long)s
along the way would make sure that your buffers are large enough.  (For
extreme future-proofing, you might also sizeof() the messages you print)

(Tidbit: since sizeof(long) measures in bytes, and %d prints in decimals,
then a buffer of length sizeof(long) is enough to hold a decimal
represntation of a long).
