The original code was passing a union by value, and doing odd things
on Solaris/SPARC (where "odd" rhymes with "SIGBUS"). Replace it with
an exploded switch/case block for all the enum values. Also use the
string literals so that we get compiler checking of the format string
vs. the type of the actual arguments.
