printf() under Solaris is probably abusing the stack by writing data
at some point below the stack pointer. 0xef7b8c38 looks like a stack
address to me.
I'm not sure what can be done about this. I suppose the
bounds-checking library could include an implementation of printf()
which does a sprintf() into an array under Solaris, I suppose; this
wouldn't be totally correct, but it would be better than the current
situation. Maybe I'll do that.
