Looks like the __restricted keywords were introduced just two days ago,
in r234585, which may be why I didn't see any crashes yet.

I think the easiest solution for now is to #undef __restrict at the top
of both lib/libc/stdio/vfscanf.c and lib/libc/stdio/vfwscanf.c, then
recompile and reinstall libc.
