I had the same problem on my machine, and found out it is caused by
the notes program itself.  It turns out that notes holds 8 (I think)
bytes of a machine name. And when the machine name is 8 bytes long the
printf fails.  A fix is to change the printfs to %-8.8s (which is what I did
and it worked) or change it to something like this.

This problem occurs quite  a bit in 'fa.laser-lovers'.
