VarArgs on the client, or UTIL_VarArgs on the server, uses Q_vsnprintf to format a string to a static 1 kb buffer. It returns a pointer to the buffer. If the function is called twice, the first string will be overwritten. Use CloneString to copy the string to a new one. Don't forget to delete your cloned strings though.
