Actually, this is my fault (I suggested that form of the one_of()
function). The man page for va_end() clearly states that every call to
va_start() needs to be paired with a corresponding va_end(), so it is
incorrect to return without a call to va_end().

Maybe something like instead?

        static int one_of(const char *term, ...)
        {
                int res = 0;
                va_list matches;
                const char *match;

                va_start(matches, term);
                while (!res && (match = va_arg(matches, const char *)))
                        res = !strcmp(term, match);
                va_end(matches);

                return res;
        }
Ciao,
Dscho
