Please add a note to vfprintf(3) telling users that the %m conversion
specifier is thread safe.

I'm not sure why he need a note to indicate that the %m conversion specifier 
is thread safe.
From our research and glibc's document, vfprintf(3) is thread safe except when users pass float formatting,
custom formatting or single quota may cause locale dependency problem.
And I'm going to add thread safety information of vfprintf() into printf.3.
If there is something special about %m, we'd like to know.
And I'm willing to add it.

I will send you answer to Martin Godisch, but I don't think there is something
special. I will wait your patch before closing this bug.

Thanks.

Regards,
