It eliminated a warning about a non-literal format string.  That's not
very important, and I didn't realize it would slow things down.

However even knowing that, it is worthwhile to realize that __eprintf
is only executed just prior to calling abort() as part of the assert()
macro expansion.  So it won't slow down running code by any amount
unless you are crashing a whole lot and need to examine the problem a
nanosecond sooner. :-)

In this light, do we care about the slow down?
