The problem is that some raw glibc code from the vsprintf() function
was cut and pasted into libsafe in order to instrument it.
Unfortunnaly, this code rely on internal, version dependant GLIBC function
(like __iswspace() ).
The fix is easy, and is just to use public function to do the job.
I'll integrate a patch for the libsafe package ASAP.
