Well, not as Richard has currently written the code, it is a "%llu".
This was why I asked the question I did; if we want the "-1" here we
probably want to special case that as I don't think we want to display

OK, then go with the long number, we'll fix it in the interpretation. I guess
we do the same thing for auid.
