The answer of course is that "uint64_t" is mostly equal to "unsigned long
long" but it is not guaranteed to be, because long is a natural type and
not an absolute type. If you use PRIu64 or PRIx64 then the result will
always be correct, but llx might not be for all architectures that NetBSD
aims to support.
