>Description:
GCC 3.0.3 ignores the prototype for fputs(). It compiles a call with the wrong
number or type of arguments without any errors or warnings. The resulting
executable crashes (Segmentation fault).
>How-To-Repeat:
/* This program compiles without complaints using `gcc -W -Wall' */
int fputs(int, int, int);
int main(void) {
	fputs(42);
	return 0;
}
>Fix:
To work around this, you could use a wrapper function:
int wrap_fputs(const char *s, FILE *stream) {
	return fputs(s, stream);
}
