It should be.

This bug occurred because the "%ld" format and/or the 'long' data type
were 32-bit. This is indeed the case:

On 64-bit Windows, 'long' is a 32-bit type (and 'long long' is 64-bit;
on most other platforms both are 64-bit.)

I was wrong about that: apr_size_t would be 32-bit on 32-bit
architectures. File sizes (apr_off_t) are more likely to be 64-bit,
although there may be some platforms where they are 32-bit, maybe
depending on compile-time options or something that is configurable.

Therefore my initial patch (changing to use APR_SIZE_T_FMT) was wrong
(would not have worked on 32-bit architectures). I have now corrected
that to use APR_OFF_T_FMT.

When I wrote that, I was assuming a 32-bit architecture.

On a standard Windows-64 system, it's not.

I hope that clears up the issue.
