[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. add -Werror=format-security to CFLAGS
2. build
3. watch it break:

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Should just build.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.68.5 on Fedora/rawhide

Please provide any additional information below.

Fedora is using -Werror=format-security in CFLAGS and flow-tools fails to 
build. Attached patch fixes it.
