This could be the same problem that I came against and posted details of
a few days ago. On our MOREbsd HP boxes there is/was a bug in routine
doprnt() which is called by printf() and co. The bug is exercise by the
new version of putline() in util.c

You can check whether this bug is present in your doprnt() routine by
the following:

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
	printf("doprnt() is %.0scorrect\n", "NOT ");
}

The old version of putline() could be used to further check for the
prescence of this bug.
