Hmmm. Looking at that change makes me wonder if that solution
is Kosher. The value of the va_list you pass to vsnprintf() is
unspecified after the call.
It may be Ok as mingw-only "compatibility wrapper", but I think
you have to be a bit careful. It is not a general solution for
any BROKEN_SNPRINTF.
