Huh? What platform are you using?

It currently reads:

#ifndef HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT_64
static void fmtnum __P((long value, int base, int dosign, int ljust, int len, i$
#else
static void fmtnum __P((long_long value, int base, int dosign, int ljust, int l$
#endif

This was a last minute change suggested by someone, and it looked
correct. We are saying if they don't have long long, use long. It that
wrong?

That is bad. Please send us some more info.
