Does anyone else find it as ironic as I that this code contains
a..buffer overflow?

Quite aside from the _horrible_ misuse of sprintf, this writes a NUL
one byte past the end of sendbuffer[].
I sure wouldn't trust anything about my system to code from whoever
wrote this. Just on a quick once-over, I see seven other things I
would say are wrong with it.
