 This is almost surely a consequence of using our own printf()
implementation instead of the C RTL one in 2.8, so the easiest workaround
for now would be to set wxUSE_PRINTF_POS_PARAMS to 0 in setup.h to avoid
using it. But the real fix would probably be to add %I64 support under at
least Windows as people can come to expect it and if it's used inside an
#ifdef __WXMSW__ it becomes quite difficult to explain why shouldn't it
work.
