printf isn't broken, you conception of what 'q' does is.

'q', like 'l' is an argument size specifier, not a printing spec.

i.e. you need to use qd, not q, just as you need to use ld, not l.


e.g. under OSF/1:

main()
{
        printf("%d\n", 10);
        printf("%l\n", 10);
        printf("%ld\n", 10);
}

yeilds:
