    Did I not say in my bug that this was a distilled test case?

    I _did_ test it with -Wall and saw the warnings my question was
why the incorrect specification of the first format led to the
incorrect value of the second.  I recieved a tip from a kind person to
look at the implementation of varargs and think I know why now.  I can
honestly understand the frustration that most people have when they
talk of reporting bugs.  The process of reporting bugs is made no
easier by snide comments like the first one.  We are not all compiler
gods you know...
