The bug can be reproduced by using a format that do not have the width.prec specified after a format that have the width.prec specified. The second formatted output will be wrong. The root cause is acpi_ut_vsnprintf() doesn't reset the specifiers to the default values. This patch fixes this issue. BZ 1094. Reported by Yizhe Wang, fixed by Lv Zheng. Since acpi_ut_vprintf() is only enabled for specific OSPM now, this patch doesn't affect Linux kernel.
