MiNTlib (I think I'm on pl43): Bug in sprintf().

This bug has been fixed and the fix is in (what will be) PL 45.  PL 45
should be released tomorrow or the next day in an extremely untested
state; I cut the patches this weekend so now I've just got to wrap it
up and ship it soon as I get a free minute.

Cheers,
