Are the formatting issues resolved in the 4.02.0+turnk switch in OPAM
(that's, dev0-2014-08-29)? I'm getting segmentation faults from fprintf in
my application even in that branch (see below). I'll work to pin it down as
it very well could be a miss-formatted string on my part, but obviously we
shouldn't seg-fault. let me know if I should hold off.

thanks,
nick
