The printf and sprintf functions are unable to handle %d
conversions on large integers:
16:46 <pmichaud> r: say 42**20
16:46 <camelia> rakudo ee11f7: OUTPUT«291733167875766667063796853374976»
16:46 <pmichaud> r: printf("%d\n", 42**20)
16:46 <camelia> rakudo ee11f7: OUTPUT«118489088»
16:46 * pmichaud files rakudobug
This also seems to affect ticket #114760, which has trouble
printing large years in date strings.
