I get similar results:
result = '3 42'
result = '9e-313 1413754129'

Now I agree with you, it is fundamentally broken.
We need to replace this implementation.

But snprintf.c code does not support "%I64d" construct. It must
be picking OS's vsnprintf()

I started with FreeBSD's vsnprintf() at first
but was set back by it's complexity and decided to
modify the port/snprintf.c code. Now would you like me
to incorporate FreeBSD's one into the code.
Give me a week and I will come with the patch.
