Rather than duplicating the constant value, use the sizeof operator to have
the value propogate from the static buffer allocation. Any standards conforming
implementation of snprintf will null-terminate the output unless the buffer is
NULL (a zero-sized buffer is passed to the call). On Windows, where this is not
the case, the function is named _snprintf which ensures that we do not
accidentally end up with the incorrect behaviour.
