vsnprintf() is a safe version of vsprintf() -- it specifies the size
of the buffer to print into so you avoid buffer overrun exploits.
Solaris 2.5 is also missing vsnprintf() so the CVS snapshot has a
workaround, stolen from GNU screen.  I've only been able to test
compilation of the workaround, not it's actual functionality (I have a 
2.5 machine I can compile on, but not install and test Mailman).

I'd love it if you could grab the current CVS snapshot and give it a
test.  You'll need to re-run configure after zapping your config.cache 
file (i.e. "make distclean ; configure" or "config.status --recheck")

What's in CVS now is what I plan to use for 1.0 final, so please let
me know how it goes!
