Description

A stack buffer overflow can occur if psDefn->UOMLengthInMeters has a big non fractionnal part (for example 123456789.12345678).

The sprintf() page suggests it is a C99 function and I'm hesitant to depend on C99 functions in libgeotiff. Instead I have just increased the size of szUnits (r1502) even though it is not a proper solution of the problem.
