Eeek, my apologies, I am totally wrong. I hadn't realised that Windows
has its own version of format specifiers for printf, and thus I64 means
exactly "unsigned 64-bit int" which is precisely what's wanted.

And indeed release notes for R13B show that this fixed (the bug really
did exist before R13B) in os_mon 2.2.1:

OTP-7944  An error in memsup could cause os_mon to report erroneous
	      memory values on windows for ranges of memory between 2GB and
	      4GB. This have now been fixed.

Sorry for wasting your time.

Matthew
