I know. What I'm trying to explain is that since patch 11/11 modifies
dynamic_emit_prefix() such that it writes its output to a buffer there
is no longer a need to write into that buffer with a single snprintf()
call. Using multiple snprintf() calls is also fine. Hence it is
possible to eliminate the two temporary arrays (tid[] and lineno[])
from dynamic_emit_prefix() without reintroducing these races.
