ahhhhh... yes, that was exactly the clue I needed, thank you.

stdarg doesn't know the arguments need to be converted to integers to
fit the size being claimed in the printf prototype.

There might be a few more of these around, hidden by the fact that
there's only one integer argument and it's being passed little-endian,
so it would fail e.g. on Solaris 32-bit with large file support.

The second part is paranoia...  the stdarg manual says the va_list ap is
undefined after return from a function, so it's safest to run va_end()
on it within the function where it's been used.
