PowerPC: reuse same va_list more that once failed

Severity: important

Hi,

On PowerPC wget coredump into vfprintf() (bug #104325).
MasqMail-0.1.15-1 also coredump with same stack trace.

I realise that both reuse same va_list more that once.  The following
probram demonstrate this bug:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdarg.h>

void vlog_and_print(char *fmt, va_list ap)
{
        fprintf (stdout, "First\n"); fflush(stdout);
        vfprintf (stdout, fmt, ap); fflush(stdout);

        fprintf (stdout, "Second\n"); fflush(stdout);
        vfprintf (stdout, fmt, ap); fflush(stdout);
}

void log_and_print (char *fmt, ...)
{
        va_list ap;

        va_start (ap, fmt);
        vlog_and_print (fmt, ap);
        va_end (ap);
}

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{

        log_and_print ("a=%x, b=%x\n", 0x11111111, 0x22222222, 0x33333333, 
0x44444444);

        return 0;
}

$ ./va_bug
First
a=11111111, b=22222222
Second
a=33333333, b=44444444
