Summary: format %lf 1 can crash Linux

Initial Comment:
It was reported and confirmed that
   format "%lf" 1
can crash some Linux machines.  The problem is that 
the 64-bit handling in 8.4 converts this to "%llf" as the 
specifier, which not all libc's appreciate.  Note that 
pedantically correct would be "%Lf", but %lld is what we 
want for ints, so I don't know how we will reconcile this.  
We could just trick it just for format to use 'L' in the long 
case of doubles only.
