Actually, it is uglier than that. Of one writes something like:

	char buf[20];

	buf[0] = 0x20;
	buf[1] = 0x03;

	CMD_SETUP(cmd, buf, 0);

	// some other init, up to 5 values, then another CMD_SETUP()


sizeof() will evaluate to 20, and not to 2, with would be the
expected buffer size, and it will pass 18 random values.

IMHO, using sizeof() here is a very bad idea.

Mauro
