before you go off doing that everywhere, you may want to check out
STRBUF_SIZEOF() in ls.c, which looks like this:

/*
 * Upward approximation of the maximum number of characters needed to
 * represent a value of integral type t as a string, excluding the
 * NUL terminator, with provision for a sign.
 */
#define	STRBUF_SIZEOF(t)	(1 + CHAR_BIT * sizeof(t) / 3 + 1)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
