Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. That was my own implementation of
the GNU-semantics dprintf, as opposed to the newlib semantics
__dprintf, which is quite different but unfortunately share very
similar names.

Is it acceptable to assign the copyright to the public domain?

I believe all the called functions (vasprintf, write, free) are
themselves reentrant. Is this function not reentrant then?

What is the purpose of the newlib function define macros, and is there
a newlib hackers reference manual available?

I'll fix this up.
