>Description:
The following creates invalide code:

#define DEBUG(format,args...) \
  fprintf(stderr,"%s: " format,_debug_string,##args)
DEBUG("no format chars");

That expands to roughly:

fprintf(stderr,"%s: "no format chars");

The problem appears to be that the comma-stripping of the
##args extension is a little to aggressive, resulting in the
stripping of a valid argument from the commandline.
