hm...

can we fix it in lib/vsprintf.c instead?

a) the patch set has "there is no problem on platform A, but still
   let's just change it"

   which is probably fine. but

b) you tweak/fix the currently existing users, OK. but there, most
   likely, will be new users that will require fixes in the future.
