I don't know what you expect your program to do.  There is no %e
specifier in MSVCRT, so the GIGO principle applies here.

You'll find that MSVCRT does support an extension to C90 with %#d,
which might be what you want.  Using %#d means that your program (C or
Lua) is no longer portable to other C90 systems.
