That sounds right to me.

That would be very strange; that's not the usual way in which varargs
functions were used. However, it's always possible that the code in
question is particularly weird.
You don't include the code in question, so it's a bit hard to comment
without retrieving the whole source package and poking around, and I'm not
sure what segfaults you're getting or how they're produced. Is there a
fairly self-contained example that you know is segfaulting that you can
include? I've done varargs conversions before and have written a fair bit
of stdarg code, so maybe I can help.
