Should that work at all?

man va_arg:

   va_end()
       Each invocation of va_start() must be matched by a corresponding  invo-
       cation of va_end() in the same function.  After the call va_end(ap) the
       variable ap is undefined.  Multiple traversals of the list, each brack-
       eted  by va_start() and va_end() are possible.  va_end() may be a macro
       or a function.

You need to call va_start() before the vfprintf or not call va_end().

Does that solve the problem?
