+Subject: [PATCH] Replace Curses mvprintw() with va_list-based equivalent
+
+Instead of allocating a buffer for the formatted string and printing
+it with mvprintw() -- which should have a "%s" format argument to guard
+against '%' characters in the formatted string, hat tip Andreas Tille --,
+use vw_printw() which takes a va_list so can do the formatting itself.
