The point of this change is that we were forcibly doing a cast to int with int64 values returned, so this commit limits the risks of missing paths in the future, while being consistent with all the SLRU code marking segment numbers with int64 for short *and* long segment file names.

No, this is not what *this* patch does.  (I suppose some of the related 
patches might be doing that.)  This patch just casts a few things that 
are int to unsigned long long int before printing them.
