Should that work at all?
man va_arg:
va_end()
Each invocation of va_start() must be matched by a corresponding invo-
cation of va_end() in the same function. After the call va_end(ap) the
variable ap is undefined. Multiple traversals of the list, each brack-
eted by va_start() and va_end() are possible. va_end() may be a macro
or a function.
You need to call va_start() before the vfprintf or not call va_end().
Does that solve the problem?
