He's right. So sayeth printf(3) it arrived with C99 compliance in
glibc 2.1. *sigh* Pays to read changelogs ocassionally. Your
judicious use of MIN() will work but you're right, it's expensive.

glibc 2.1... That's been a while. One should never feel ashamed of
one's own slack, but I do none the less.
