Fix load_varargs to prevent local var corruption

Assigning to a varargs variable that is not passed by the C caller can result in corruption of another parameter. EG: the var contains data for another parameter, which is then changed unexpectedly. The code was rewritten to assign to a new variable, to prevent this from happening.
