It does not convince me either. The problem Cristian reported refers to 
how ssh handles user profile initialization.
I had the same problem as I run ltp on an embedded system from linux 
host via ssh and I did not modifiy the test at all.
The approach Garett proposed to Cristian is not applicable as it 
modifies the test to overcome a ssh specific issue.
Instead I used ssh -t -t (twice!) when executing ltp to ensure TERM 
variable is defined in console initialized by ssh.

Furthermore subsequent commit 60eddf837a9c414fe18dded4b07522d0d2066761 
made the test safer against
this situation.

Based on this rationale I will propose the patch to modify sprintf check.

BR,
Salvo.
