I'll look.  I am supposed to be using an internal printf library that
would correctly handle the argument indexes.  Obviously, whatever printf
library is in use is off in la-la land somewhere.  It ought to either
error out or do the right thing.  Windows.  I'm not really surprised.

Oh, if you would, please:

   autogen --trace=everything --trace-out=/tmp/something .....

and email that, along with the .c file, I could chase it down more readily.
