Problem with sftp-server on Tru64 (long long type and %ll)

[mouring at etoh.eviladmin.org]

A solution that you can test is to go into your config.h and set this:

/* Define if your snprintf is busted */
/* #undef BROKEN_SNPRINTF */

Then recompile and see if sftp-server and sftp work correctly.   If that
solves it then it may be better to use the internal snprintf() then
Tru64's.
