The notes about va_copy are interesting. Presumably, the v*printf functions in the
C RTL still work, so the compiler knows how to pass a va_list to another routine
but it can't copy it to another va_list.

The note on short data in IA64 protected images is a little disturbing. A protected
image ported to X86 may break because it was (possibly inadvertently) doing
something unsafe?
