The root of the problem is that we have different typedefs for (u_)int64_t 
in 32 and 64 bit archs.  Specifically, we use "(unsigned) long" on 64 bit 
archs while 32 bit archs use "(unsigned) long long".  As intmax_t is an 
alias for int64_t this means also that intmax_t is "shorter" (for some 
definition) than "long long".  I still think that we should make it "long 
long" on all archs as Net- and OpenBSD do.

There are the dreaded PRI... macros that are supposed to fix this, but 
that is really ugly.  In general, a cast to intmax_t and %j or long long 
and %ll seems to be the preferred sollution.
