Matt: I see what the problem is; It is caused by the dval.
The #80000000 is the limit of a long integer.
What we need in Euphoria is a sprintf with %u specifier parameter.
I don't think that's the problem. Because if the number were that big, euphoria would store it as a double. For euphoria code, there's not really such thing as signed and unsigned. Everything is signed, and and atom is automatically promoted to a double if the magnitude grows too much.
What happens if you try:
atom a = n[$] print(1, "a %d\n", a ) print(1, "a %d\n", {a} ) ? {n[$]} ? {a}
