Er, yeah, presumably.

For the record, Microsoft ships:

int _vsnprintf( char *buffer, size_t count, const char *format, va_list
argptr );

Not a few ANSI-standard functions have an underscore prepended to them in
Microsoft's implementation.  I've never seen their rationale.

I probably should add a warning to check the CVS log before contemplating
changing the code, and a suggestion to synch with CVS before submitting
patches.  Time was that 100 new lines was an active month.  These days, with
three guys hacking full time (AFAICT), the base is moving much faster.
