That's what I meant by 'sloppy programming'. Your instructions cover
everything but one tiny detail: it is common practice to pass the 'args'
va_list argument to other functions further down. In some cases I've seen,
a pointer to the va_list argument is passed (which breaks on PPC). What's
the proper coding style here?
