I was compiling wu-ftp and found that wu-ftp would core dump in a call to sprintf
(where it write the transfer-log entries). Putting a wrapper around the call to
sprintf solved the problem.

This would seem to indicate that there is a problem with argument alignments (or something
to do with calling funcs) on calls to functions.
