Hello,

I'm trying to run hello on the test directory with mallocwatch.so and info level logging. It gave me segmentation fault.

$ LD_PRELOAD=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/mallocwatch.so PREENY_INFO=1 tests/hello
[1]    6269 segmentation fault (core dumped)  LD_PRELOAD=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/mallocwatch.so PREENY_INFO=1 tests/hello

But running without PREENY_INFO=1 results in successful execution.

$ LD_PRELOAD=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/mallocwatch.so tests/hello 
Hello world!

After some code modification on mallocwatch.c and logging.c, I found that it's because it segfaults because it tries to call vprintf and printf from libc. Removing the vprintf and printf from preeny_info works (without logging too). I'm not sure why though.
