Summary: ./src/main.c Overlapping data buffer 'dirbuildup'

Initial Comment:
Using curl 7.19.4

"If copying takes place between objects that overlap as a result of a call to
sprintf() or snprintf(), the results are undefined."
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/functions/printf.html

E.g. on line 5290 you have:
sprintf(dirbuildup,"%s%s%s",dirbuildup, DIR_CHAR, tempdir);

cppcheck 1.29 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/cppcheck/) yeilds:
[./src/main.c:5290]: (error) Overlapping data buffer dirbuildup
