Hi, 

It seems that the long long size modifier (L) is broken
in printf and scanf.  If I compile the following program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

main(argc, argv)
	 int argc;
	 char **argv;
{
	long long 	foo;

	sscanf(argv[1], "%Lx", &foo);
	printf("foo %Lx\n", foo);
}

and run it on my NT system as follows I get:

==> ./foo 0x123456789
foo ffffffff

Whereas the same program on a Solaris system it gives me the proper:

==> ./a 0x123456789
foo 123456789

Am I missing something?  I have also tried %llx instead of %Lx
with the same results.

Thanks.

Pete
