 	hello Simon.  Unfortunately, your patch doesn't fix the problem.
 After your patch, nbmake (make) core dumps when it calls vfprint() in the
 same function.
 Further testing shows that parse.c, versions up to 1.230 work fine, but versions
 1.231 and 1.232 fail.  I tried looking at the failure after your patch, but
 couldn't figure out why the call to vfprint failed since it looks like that
 call exists before your patches went into the file.  I think it has
 something to do with the cp variable, but I didn't have time to look
 further into it.
 	If you want me to try a different patch, let me know.
 -thanks
