duh, you are quite correct sir... I trusted my [failing] memory. Wonder if
neuroscience will come up with ECC regeneration some day :-)

Correct, there is no requirement for APR_STATUS_T_FMT.

Of course, my bad, and nobody is suggesting _changing_ apr_status_t, no sir!

I misread one of David's commits. Now I'm reading this right...

Modified: test test_apr.h testmd5.c testproc.c
Log:
fix some bad parms to printf/fprintf
- printf("Error was %ld : %s\n", rv, strerror(rv)); \
+ printf("Error was %d : %s\n", rv, strerror(rv)); \
This patch was goodness, and dunno what I was reading that suggested someone
actually needed %ld. Certainly %ld will bomb on some systems, and slip quietly
past on others. Thanks for catching these, Jeff!

If someone wants to do this, great. I'm not about to spend the effort, given
that it's predictable :-)
