Subject: [svn-r17211] The function h5tools_str_append() incorrectly used the
 trio of functions: va_start(), HDvsnprintf(), and va_end(). When the boundary
 of the string buffer was reached and resized, the HDvsnprintf() function
 recalled without the other two functions in the code loop. This usage exposed
 bug 1520 by a user.

Tested: linux
