  Silence gcc warnings when trying to print an off_t using "lld", on platforms
  where off_t has type long (e.g., 64-bit Linux).

+/* Printing a variable of type off_t correctly and without producing
+   compiler warnings is surprisingly painful.  We identify an integer
+   type whose size matches off_t and then: (1) cast the off_t to that
+   integer type and (2) use the appropriate conversion specification
+   for printf.  The cast is necessary: gcc complains about formatting
+   a long with "%lld" even when both long and long long have the same
