s[ln]printf ?

Why when I grep the current 3.0 code do I find lots of

	slprintf(rhostsfile, sizeof(rhostsfile)-1,
		"%s/.rhosts", home);

$ grep s[ln]printf */*.c | grep ')-1' | wc -l
255

include/includes.h:#define slprintf snprintf
include/includes.h:#define vslprintf vsnprintf

Everything I can find and the couple of other people
I've talked to agree that the buffer size snprintf()
includes the terminating NULL.

so why are we saving one byte extra in about 75% of
the calls?  Anyone want to enloighten me?  Maybe some
histiry I'm missing here.
