commit    f3be5d3e7891ef6886489cb0c9962d52c5983c70

    Use snprintf not sprintf in pg_waldump's timestamptz_to_str.
    
    This could only cause an issue if strftime returned a ridiculously
    long timezone name, which seems unlikely; and it wouldn't qualify
    as a security problem even then, since pg_waldump (nee pg_xlogdump)
    is a debug tool not part of the server.  But gcc 8 has started issuing
    warnings about it, so let's use snprintf and be safe.
    
    Backpatch to 9.3 where this code was added.
