Yes, it's not only FreeBSD 5 and NetBSD 3 which are affected by this
problem, but also FreeBSD 6, MacOS
Unfortunately, you may well have to use xprintf much more generally,
(or else check all *printf return values) if you care about robustness
under low-memory conditions.
This is because the printf, fputs, fwrite, etc. functions
(at least glibc-based functions) always allocate memory upon
stream ini
