Another way to get portable error message routines is to assume that
there will be a maximum number of arguments.

error(fmt, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, arg6, arg7, arg8, arg9, arg10)
char *fmt;
int arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, arg6, arg7, arg8, arg9, arg10;
{
	fprintf(stderr, fmt, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, arg6, arg7,
		arg8, arg9, arg10)
}

The only time that this wouldn't work is if the arguments were put on
the stack in the reverse order that they normally are in C.
