Who's snprintf doesn't null terminate?  The OpenBSD man page reads:

     Snprintf(), vsnprintf(), asnprintf() and vasnprintf() will write at most
     size-1 of the characters printed into the output string (the size'th
     character then gets the terminating `\0'); if the return value is greater

I otherwise agree that passing possible garbage on to other functions is
not a recommended way to write secure programs.
