Since you've asked, I'll answer.  I didn't worry about the format string
problem when it became popular because I don't believe any of my code was
written in such a way that it was a problem.  As for integer overflows,
no, I haven't auditted for them (I wouldn't expect to find any, either).
I have other, problems, to worry about instead that are generally less
easy to fix than these.
