canna-utils: addwords segfaults on amd64 when finished

[Carthik Sharma]

Note: This bug was reported using reportbug to the ubuntu-users mailing list.

Because USE_VARARGS does not get set when building the utilities, the ancient version of Message gets used and pointer parameters get converted to ints, causing a segfault on 64 bit systems.

adding the following to the top of can.c and rutil.c fixed the problem:
#ifdef __STDC__
# define USE_VARARGS
#endif

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?
