I'm not sure what happened to the double quotes in the printf calls;
they seem to have been characters with no Latin-1 equivalents (on
investigating the original, I see they were Unicode 0x201c and 0x201d,
directed left and right double quotes).  This will not work; C requires
the double quotes around strings to be undirected double quotes.
(Usually won't work, at least; while compilers that accept directed
double quote characters there might exist, I find it doubtful.)

Assuming that's just an artifact of including the code sample in the
email in a broken way....

This depends on the way your machine passes arguments and, for many
common argument-passing conventions, its endianness as well.  Based on
the output you describe, you appear to be talking about a big-endian
machine.

Yes (well, assuming 4-byte unsigned longs), but...

...the first 4 bytes of what?

Depending on how the C implementation passes arguments, it may not be
the first 4 bytes of the unsigned long long argument you passed.  Even
if it is, which 4 bytes are first depends on how arguments are passed,
and, usually, on the endianness of the machine.

If you're running on the same hardware, I can only assume it does
argument passing differently.

I don't see any point in worrying over why results you get differ when
you're doing things whose results are undefined (or
implementation-defined and you're comparing implementations which
define them in different ways).  I think the former is the case here,
though I'd have to check with a real C expert to be certain.
