We always knew that was going to get us into trouble. There are
other places where code like that appears or appeared.
This code was stolen from the sprintf sources in
/paris/source/4.3/lib/libc/stdio/sprintf.c. It was used soley
to get around lack of a good varargs interface so that things
like critical_alert could use printf style arguments.
It is gross indeed and should be replaced by something more
portable.
