Hi everyone,


I am periodically calling a script that contains an error. After having
reported the error 2190 times, the JavaScript engine crashes at the call to
dosprintf in JS_vsnprintf in jsprf.c.

    ss.stuff = LimitStuff;
    ss.base = out;
    ss.cur = out;
    ss.maxlen = outlen;
   (void) dosprintf(&ss, fmt, ap);

The only thing difference between the previous calls and the final one is
the parameter 'ap' which
is of type va_list and was created in JS_snprintf using va_start.

Does anyone have any ideas what is going no there ? Also, has anyone tried
yet to remove the
existing error reporting scheme. I already have my own and would like to use
that. I am currently
inclined to replace the function ReportError with my own code. Any comments
?


Thx
Jochen
