That's what va_copy() is for.

Well, anybody who has such an old setup that they have a broken  
vsnprintf,
I'd expect they don't have va_copy() either. It's C99, I think  
(although
there were obviously implementations of it before that).

I wonder what's the downside of just using a native format  
implementation like the one in Vstr[1] or bstring[2]?

strbuf_addf would be faster and immune to the buggy/outdated host  
*sprintf implementations.
