I don't claim this is a general fix, but for this particular application 
where the sources do not explicitly call "printf" or "vprintf" by those 
names, it suffices.  The real fix would involve renaming those class 
methods and fixing all calls to those methods in the sources, but those 
changse are quite extensive and involve many more patches, and I didn't 
want to go to all that trouble.
