It's not clear to me which of the various versions this test ran
against, but it seems like the printf self-tests got very confused by
the results:

> [   40.275423] test_printf: kvasprintf(..., "%p %p", ...) returned '3cf9adbe eff717bf', expected '0000000001234567 fffffffffedcba98'

I assume v10 will fix the width issues, but probably not the value tests...

And it claims a use-after-free, too:

> [   39.757461] The buggy address belongs to the object at 22cb34bb

Which becomes rather unreadable, since the address got hashed. :P
