I did see ridiculous totals while testing an earlier version of the
patch, before I went through and fixed all the printf formats to match
the passed types.  Fixing those seemed to make the go away, but testing with
the uploaded NMU I'm seeing this again.  Sorry I managed to miss this.

Running under valgrind suggests it is an uninitialised value - the first
report I see is here:

I think I see where the problem is - in wx2.8, wxString::ToLong() will
put a value into the pointer to long if it returns false, but in wx3.0 it
won't.  Just testing a fix.

Cheers,
