While - given the size of cntbuf - the difference is mostly
benign, you using vscnprintf() above calls for you also
using scnprintf() here.

While I don't think there's overly much risk of "s" getting an
argument with side effects passed, I think that for "nr" the
risk is there. May I ask that you evaluate both here, just in
case?

Preferably with these adjustments
