A stack overflow. It turns out ipr_format_resource_path writes to a
passed in buffer using sprintf which is dangerous and in this case looks
to be the cause of the overflow.

The following patch passes in the length of the buffer and uses snprintf,
which fixes the fail for me. It doesn't fix the other issue, which is
why the loop in ipr_format_resource_path didn't terminate in the first place.
That can be fixed in a follow up patch.
