I was going through the GetLastError() calls to unify the printf
formats, as discussed, and I stumbled across this:

+               write_stderr("could not write crash dump to %s: error code %08x\n",
+                            dumpPath, GetLastError());

Is there a reason why this uses that particular format, unlike all other
call sites?
