APR doesn't properly parse the %lld format specifier, which is
sometime generated by APR on 64-bit systems, for example OS X:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48476
The corresponding Subversion issue is:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3829
While I remember the problem being specific to OS X, and I *think* the
issue was to work around it on that platform, it could come back and
bite other users of 64-bit platforms.
