Synopsis: NATURAL_32 attribute value displayed incorrectly when object printed

Description
If a class with a NATURAL_32 attribute whose value is 2^32-1 prints `Current'
the value of the attribute is displayed as -1.  This is due to incorrect
format specified in routines rec_write and rec_swrite in out.c.  They are
using %d as the format specifier for a natural instead of %u.  The format
specifiers for other NATURAL types should also be corrected, though they
might not make a difference on most platforms.  You might want to define
something similar to EIF_NATURAL_64_DISPLAY for the smaller natural types
instead and then use that (might be more easily portable).

The attached class could be (and should be) turned into an eweasel test.
