  | Yes, that makes sense for the %7lu, but what about the leading space
  | in the first column?

From posix:

	If both the field width and precision are omitted, the implementation
	may precede, follow, or precede and follow numeric arguments of types
	d, i, and u with <blank> characters;

Since they specify just "%d" we can add whatever blanks we llike.
