Hi Paul,

Thanks for the quick response.

If I print result just before the failing assert, stdout has this extra line:

0x1p+0 33

Going over the build logs, I also noticed this warning when compiling 
test-xvasprintf.c,
which is likely entirely unrelated -- my original report being 
test-xvasprintf-posix.c
failing.

  CC       test-xvasprintf.o                                                    
               
../../tests/test-xvasprintf.c: In function 'test_xasprintf':                    
               
../../tests/test-xvasprintf.c:98: warning: format not a string literal and no 
format arguments 
  CCLD     test-xvasprintf

Agreed, but it would be nicer still if all Mac OS using gnulib clients didn't 
have to
work around the failure :)
