format hex numbers

[Eli Barzilay]

`format' drops digits beyond the least 7 when printing hex numbers,
since it inherits this behavior from `sprintf'.  I couldn't find any
documentation on this, and I couldn't get C to print more than 7
digits...  I'm still sending this hoping that someone knows better
than me...
