THIS IS A NICE ONE!
Let me tell you first that all this code was Chinese for me at first look. But I tried hacking here and there to figure out what goers wrong as everything seemed to be okay.

I've never used this variable length parameter handling stuff before but one of my hacks eliminated the segfault... I put a va_arg(ap, int) before the vsnprintf call... The memory address was wrong in the crashdump, but didn't segfault.. I tried to find out how all this things work, when I found this one:

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/binutils/2005-07/msg00286.html

Checked and won:

sizeof(unsigned long) = 4
sizeof(bfd_vma) = 8

bfd_vma is 8 bytes even on my 32bit system. Using unsigned long instead of bfd_vma seems to be the right solution for this problem (tested on Debian Linux 5.0 i686 and Debian Linux 6.0 amd64)
