+       * glib.h:
+       * gstring.c:
+       * gstrfuncs.c:
+       (g_vsprintf): removed this function which was not publically
+       exported in glib.h. to export it, it should have been named
+       differently in the first place, since its semantics differ from
+       vsprintf(). apart from that, it was a possible cause for
+       problems since it worked on a previously allocated memory area and
+       was used in a lot places of glib. exporting it would have been a
+       guararant for problems with threaded programs.
+       (g_printf_string_upper_bound): exported this function to return
+       a string size, guarranteed to be big enough to hold the fully
+       expanded format+args string. added 'q', 'L' and 'll' flag handling.
+       in fact, the newly allocated area is in most cases much bigger than
+       required.
+       (g_strdup_vprintf()): new function returning a newly allocated string
+       containing the contents of *format and associated args (size is
+       calculated with g_printf_string_upper_bound()).
+       (g_strdup_printf): new function which wraps g_strdup_vprintf().
+
+       * configure.in: check for va_copy() or __va_copy() alternatively.
+       check whether va_lists can be copyied by value.
+
+       * glib.h: provide a definition for G_VA_COPY.
+
+       * glib.h:
+       * gmessages.c: 
+       (g_logv): 
+       (g_vsnprintf):
+       pass va_lists by value, not by reference, since this causes problems
+       on platforms that implement va_list as as arrays. internaly, use
+       G_VA_COPY (new_arg, org_arg); va_end (new_arg); to produce a second
+       va_list variable, if multiple passes are required. changed all
+       callers.
+
+       * glib.h:
+       * gerror.h:
+       renamed g_debug() to g_on_error_query(), cleaned up a bit.
+       renamed g_stack_trace() to g_on_error_stack_trace() since both
+       functions cluttered different namespaces.
+       there is an appropriate comment in glib.h now that explains the
+       unix and gdb specific dependencies of both functions.
+       removed g_attach_process().
+       g_on_error_stack_trace() should probably be handled with caution,
+       i've seem several different linux versions (2.0.x) become unstable
+       after invokation of this function.
