besides Eugene's suggestion, you could also do this:

   /* works for signed 64 bit int, not portable for unsigned 64 bit int */
   double d = troublemaker_humongous_integer;
   printf("%.0f\n", d);

It would not be real expensive, since it only happens on those rare instances
where you display it.
