String>>sprintfWith:with:

String>>sprintfWith:with: seems to be the cause of at least some of the gross
instability I've been seeing recently.

The old buffer-mismanagement bug seems to have re-surfaced (at least I think I
remember it being fixed at some point) in this version of D5.  The buffer
should be allocated *inside* the loop...

(The corresponding problem in String>>sprintfWith: *has* been fixed in D5)
