Typechecking errors with large integers and sprintf("%c").

The testsuite currently fails with:

The cause is that the values 025363274223, 0x1abcd7893, 012414503555 and -0x1abcd7893 all are out of the 32-bit signed range of the integer type.

The easiest fix is probably just to switch the type for large integers to the generic int type.
