Ahem, could it be you're talking about the == thing here? The current (or
future) problem was the 'sprintf' command.
Ah, ok, sorry.
I think the following could be a base for automatic sanitizing of sprintf
<bash>
# converts sprintf commands into sprintf functions
sed $1 -e 's/sprintf \([A-Za-z_0-9]*\) \(.*\)/string \1 = sprintf(\2)/'
</bash>
