[Sorry if this is a duplicate. I'm not sure whether my first attempt
got through.]
The printf %x conversion is supposed to treat its argument as an
unsigned int (see printf(3)). But look at what mawk does:
$ mawk 'END { printf("%x %x\n", 2e9, 3e9) }' < /dev/null
77359400 7fffffff
Compare that to gawk:
$ gawk 'END { printf("%x %x\n", 2e9, 3e9) }' < /dev/null
77359400 b2d05e00
The range of an unsigned int on 32-bit platforms goes up to ffffffff,
not 7fffffff.
