--- Comment #1 from Carlos O'Donell <carlos at redhat dot com> ---
Note that dprintf need not be AS-safe, POSIX doesn't mandate it, and we don't
document any safety standard for it in the glibc manual, nor in the linux man
pages project. The original author of the interface (Roland McGrath) has stated
that he intended it to be AS-safe, but we don't know if that's even possible
today.

I don't quite understand why this is filed as a distinct bug from bug 16060?
