All right.  I guess I wasn't aware that non-printf like variadic 
functions are now considered harmful or of the impending crusade against 
them :)

But in the context of this patch, can we please use something less 
invasive than changing all the arguments around?  Promoting h3 to a bool 
(if possible) or int/unsigned int would get my vote.

Regards,
