msSetError overflows error message buffer — at Version 2

Description (last modified by hobu) 

msSetError can overflow the error message buffer if the resulting error 
message is longer than MESSAGELENGTH. There is no way that I know of to 
prevent this in ANSI C but ISO C99 provides vsnprintf, which is what I used in 
the submitted patch.
