C9x, 7.15, #3. In particular, see the footnote:
... The object ap may be passed
as an argument to another function; if that function invokes
the va_arg macro with parameter ap, the value of ap in the
calling function is indeterminate and shall be passed to the
va_end macro prior to any further reference to ap.
212 It is permitted to create a pointer to a va_list and pass
that pointer to another function, in which case the
original function may make further use of the original
list after the other function returns.
SY, Uwe
