FYI merged with just added FILENAME_MAX+28 in the commit message to be more
obvious. With recent gcc we can have many fixes like this, I'm not sure if we
want to comment every -Wformat-truncation in the source code.
Thanks to all for a review.
I'll plan to do the rest of the test cleanup as we agreed.
Kind regards,
Petr
