[Bug 306835] Re: vmware-guestd crashing

I picked up the source to follow up on Dimitry's suggestion.

First, I attempted to remove particular patch.  Build fails because
apparently, without the format string, it would generate a warning, and
the compiler is being run so that warnings become errors.  As such, the
formatting string is necessary, so I used his other recommendation:
pulling out the newline, leaving just a bare %s.  Built it and it seems
to work fine; the problem seems to manifest itself when guestd presents
the VM's IP information to the host to give to the management interface.
I never got this information with the bugged version of guestd with the
newline still in (it crashes before I get this info in my browser; it
probably crashes while it's in the act of doing so), while I received
this information shortly after I fired up guestd.
