This shows up if the tests are run; the test that fails just does:

$ a2ps --list=options

which segfaults because the code is copying a va_list with memcpy, which is not valid.

It'll fail on any platform for which va_list is a 1-element array of a structure (see stdarg(3) for details).

Patch to follow.

Huh - fix is already in for later versions - oh well, I learned something even if it wasn't necessary to do anything!
