Subject: [PATCH 1/1] src/queue.c: fix format-security warnings with explicit
 "%s" format string.

The syslog() function takes as its second argument a format string (a
la printf), but if the third parameter is a string, then the format
string can be omitted. This has led to security vulnerabilities in the
past, and compilers can now warn about it. In particular, GCC has the
-Wformat-security option, which can be made an error with
-Werror=format-security.

A few such two-argument calls were present in src/queue.c, where
constant strings were being logged to syslog. This commit adds the
second format string parameter (simply "%s" in this case) to avoid the
compiler warnings.

More information about format-security can be found in Fedora's FAQ:
