The implementation is allowed to do anything when you invoke undefined
behavior (such as passing the wrong types to a variadic function).  As
Chris Torek once said:

	If the standard says [things] depend on the phase of the moon,
	the programmer should be prepared to look out the window as
	necessary.

Again, followups belong in comp.lang.c, not FreeBSD-bugs.
