Thanks.

I had a quick look through and what I saw seemed to be printf format errors to 
do with size and sign of different integers.
I suspect none will actually do real harm (though perhaps on an architecture 
where sizeof(long) != sizeof(int) there may be some which could cause a crash).
I guess what needs to be done is just checking what the actual types of the 
format arguments are and using the standard posix formats to correspond to them 
(or casting the arguments to match the format used).
