I think I found it; thanks for the bug report, it would never have
crossed my mind to examine this particular piece of the hexer code
to see what devilish magic it does behind the curtain!
I've fixed it in my Subversion repository, and I'll release hexer-0.1.5
(adopting the upstream) soon. In the meantime, could you try dropping
the attached file into debian/patches/ and adding it to "series" to
see if it helps?
Once again, thanks for the bug report and the backtrace!
G'luck,
Peter

This sentence contradicts itself - or rather - well, no, actually it doesn't!
The v*printf() routines may NOT be invoked a second time over the same
varargs list. Avoid undefined behavior by simply using vasprintf()
which has been available on Linux, among other systems, for a long time.
A more portable fix will be included in hexer-0.1.5.
