I don't have a copy of the ISO 9899:1990 but Plauger's The Standard C Library
has excerpts from it. In one of these it states:

	``The vfprintf function returns the number of characters transmitted,
	or a negative value if an output error occured''

As APE does take great pains to be standards conformant its a shame to break it here.

How about a _GLIBC_SOURCE define in the headers and a glibc_vfprintf() function
in the library?

Just my 2 cents worth.
