    I think a better solution would be to specify a format string for
    stderr. 

That's the "reimplement error handling completely differently" change.
If you or anyone wants to send me a patch for that, great.

    I believe that's the proper way of handling it, and not
    including a format string specifier opens you up to a vulnerability.

I don't see it.  If a vulnerability persists, tell me the usual details.
