This rings a bell. There is some security library,
the name of which I can't quite remember, which
dynamically replaces sprintf, sscanf, etc. This
library doesn't handle long long int parsing
correctly and caused errors similar to the one
you are reporting. Removing the package should
fix the problem. Sorry I can't remember the name.
