The vsnprintf code we have might well work fine everywhere.  I only
objected to starting to depend on it a few days before a major release,
when we hadn't been using it before.  I see no reason not to check in
the trace changes to the development tree and see whether anything
breaks for anyone... if problems show up, we have time to work on it
for 6.5...
