Hi All,

When multiple variant streams are specified by var_stream_map option, %v
placeholder in various names ensures that each variant has its unique
names. Most of %v handlng is done in format_name function. Currently
in this function the result buffer is the same as the
input pattern buffer, so you must allocate it before calling format_name
function. It also means, that it is silently assumed that the result
string will NOT be
longer that the pattern string. It is true most of the time, because %v
may appear only once in the pattern string and number of variant streams
is less than 100 in practical cases. But theoretically it will fail if
specified number of variant streams is greater than 100 (i.e. longer
than 2 digits).
This patch fixes this behaviour by altering format_name function to
allocate the
result buffer and return it to the caller.

Please, review this patch.

best,

Bela
