   Description
  </h2>
  <div class="indent">
   <p>
    Check whether there is a reasonably sane vsnprintf() function installed.
    "Reasonably sane" in this context means never clobbering memory beyond the
    buffer supplied, and having a sensible return value. It is explicitly
    allowed not to NUL-terminate the return value, however.
