After some deliberation, I've fixed this in a slightly less kludgy way
that's still non-portable. Some day we'll have ANSI-compliant C
libraries on all of our machines, and then we can use vsprintf().

/* This routine sends a class SMS zephyrgram of specified instance
* and logs to a special logfile the message passed to it via msg
* and args in printf format. *** It expects the global variable
* whoami to be defined and contain the name of the calling program.
* It's a kludge that it takes a max of 8 arguments in a way that
* isn't necessarily portable, but varargs doesn't work here and we
* don't have vsprintf().

FILE *crit; /* FILE for critical log file */
