hunt FTBFS fix

hunt-1.5-17.fc20 fails to build if "-Werror=format-security" flag is used.

...
gcc -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -grecord-gcc-switches  -m64 -mtune=generic -D_REENTRANT   -c -o timer.o timer.c
synchijack.c: In function ‘need_write_positive’:
synchijack.c:245:2: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
  sprintf(fin_msg, suggest_sync_msg(0));


I am working on a proposal to enable "-Werror=format-security" for all packages. For more details, please see https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1185 URL.

I have attached a trivial patch to fix this problem. Please review and apply.
