[Patch] Increase buffer size due to warning from ToT GCC

[Patch] Increase buffer size due to warning from ToT GCC

[Steve Ellcey]

I ran into another error while building ToT glibc with ToT GCC.

dbg_log.c: In function ‘dbg_log’:
dbg_log.c:71:46: error: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing up to 511 bytes into a region of size between 241 and 506 [-Werror=format-truncation=]

Here is a patch to fix it, OK to checkin?

OK.  (I doubt there would actually be truncation here, but it's 
locale-dependent, so making this buffer large enough to ensure that only 
the previous format operations can result in truncation, and this one 
can't, seems reasonable.)
