   As you may recall, I reported a compiler complaint.  The compiler
doesn't care about the value at run time.

   It may be, if you have one.  On VMS VAX (DEC/Compaq C), there is no
"long long" type, nor is "%lld" valid.

   If that "the fix" would have worked for me, then I'd've suggested it. 
What _would_ work for me is a different format string, including either
"%ld" or "%lld", depending on whether off_t is 32 bits or 64.  As I
explained earlier:

   I could fix it for myself, but I was unwilling to guess if the
preference was for a whole different format string based on
SIZEOF_OFF_T, or some other mechanism.
