For example, if the user passes more than a single char as the format, memory will be scribbled on. The format should be checked to make sure it contains acceptable values for getargs_ul() to be safe. I fixed a similar problem in revision 1.23 of _testcapimodule.c. See comment and code around line 330. I'm not really sure of the purpose of _testcapimodule, so perhaps the lack of error checking is acceptable? I can fix the problems, but not before the beta will go out. Neal
