addrwatch_stdout segfaults on first update

[jefferyto]

While working on the addrwatch (1.0.2) package for OpenWrt (openwrt/packages#15899) I tried running addrwatch_stdout at the command line (with addrwatch running as well). I was testing using an armvirt-32 snapshot image in qemu (like most architectures supported by OpenWrt, this uses musl instead of glibc).

addrwatch_stdout would stay running for a while (with no output), then crash with a segfault. From the variable delay my guess is that it crashed when trying to output the first update from addrwatch.

[t-w]

I have the same issue - and it concerns also addrwatch_syslog (see: #25 and openwrt/packages#15899 (comment) - I have exactly the same problem with it).

It seems that the problem is with formatting the log string on ARM devices (RaspberryPi, an OpenWRT router etc.) - when compiling on RaspberryPi, I am getting warnings:

                      ^

The problem is with the first number (timestamp / e->timestamp). It is declared as uint64_t but formatted as %lu - what is correct eg. on Linux x86_64 - but is not correct on ARM devices. Try running:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

int main()
{
    printf ( "Size of uint64_t:           %d\n" 
             "Size of long unsigned:      %d\n"
             "Size of long long unsigned: %d\n", 
             sizeof(uint64_t),
             sizeof(unsigned long),
             sizeof(unsigned long long) );    
    return 0;
}

The result on x86_64:

Size of uint64_t:           8
Size of long unsigned:      8
Size of long long unsigned: 8

but on RaspberryPi:

Size of uint64_t:           8
Size of long unsigned:      4
Size of long long unsigned: 8

Changing the format of e->timestamp to %llu should fix this for all systems (I think - but of course you may want to make sure...).
