I think cygwin_badprintf.patch needs to consider the case r==PATH_MAX; this happens when the conversion would need more than PATH_MAX bytes for the target buffer. In that case, I think it would be good enough to write "<file name too long>" into cfilename (using cfilename as is will crash because it's not null-terminated; forcefully null-terminating it might break the shift state)
