Josh Rosenberg added the comment:

You can't use I as a format code safely; it silently ignores/wraps overflow on 
the conversion, where i raises on overflow. The unsigned converters are 
basically useless for resilient code in 99% of cases.

I *think* I remember some private utility functions for doing this using O& 
though, not sure if they're available in callproc.c...
