>Synopsis:	Unresolved symbol in libkrb5support.so.0: vsnprintf
>Severity:	serious
>Priority:	medium
>Category:	krb5-libs
>Class:		sw-bug
>Release:	1.6.3
>Environment:
System: OSF1 malison.ait.iastate.edu V4.0 1229 alpha
Architecture: axp
Machine: alpha
>Description:
	The routine krb5int_vset_error()
	in the file util/support/errors.c
        which ends up in libkrb5support.so
	does not check for the (non-)existence of vsnprintf
>How-To-Repeat:
	make on an OSF/1 system (or any other w/o vsnprintf and vasprintf)
	then run any program that links to libkrb5support.so
>Fix:
	presumably an ifndef HAVE_VSNPRINTF
	and workaround code similar to that
	in lib/kadm5/logger.c using vsprintf
