No.  ubik_Call cannot use varargs, because it does not know the number and 
type of arguments, and the function it's ultimately passing them to is not 
aware that anything special is going on.

We do have a plan for how to handle this, but it will take some time to get 
it right and change all of the places where ubik_Call is currently used. 
In the meantime, Derrick is working on a proof-of-concept implementation 
which will fix the cases where we believe this is causing regular 
fileserver crashes on certain platforms.
