I'm working on taking the perl function and stripping out the parts we don't
need.  I should have it tonight.  My thought is that we can add some stuff
in later and Parrot_printf should only have the bare necessities (therefore
I am throwing out things like maybe_tainted and vector strings).  Does that
sound ok?

I'm reading the same page :-)  You glossed over the ... part too fast.
In DESCRIPTION:

  If the size of the space requested is 0, the behaviour is
  implementation-dependent; the value returned will be either a null
  pointer or a unique pointer.
