not sure, but it looks like perhaps boost::format is not 64-bit
or BE-clean (passing a -1 as a size argument?).. in general
basic_format::operator%(char const*) shouldn't really have many
ways it can go wrong.

I haven't hardware around to diagnose this with, unfortunately.
if you figure out what's going wrong please let us know.
