This is a source bug, it is using something like

         va_arg(ap, short unsigned int)

which is illegal C and gcc-2.96 now correctly detects this bug. Use this 
correct construct instead:

         (short unsigned int) va_arg(ap, unsigned int)

which was already suggested by gcc's error message.
