As a complete stab in the dark, this could be a compiler fault. Richard,
do the reports occur with GCC, do you know?
My initial thoughts upon seeing va_arg et. al. is that type promotion to
(64 bit) long is occuring for variadic functions, and then the functions
are accessing the data with the wrong alignment or something like that.
Go up a frame, and try examining the arguments in gdb. Then go back down
and compare the values.
