Hi Philippe,

Well... this patch doesn't fix any bug actually since the stack buffers
are large enough. It is more a question of coding style.

Something like below would have been more appropriate I guess:

"Building strings with g_strdup_printf() is a QEMU common practice."

No big deal.

Cheers,
