Can no longer repro this in  0.7.91~git20230705.8eabf68-1, calloc works
normally.

Title:
  ltrace prints wrong operands in calloc calls

Status in ltrace package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Ltrace in Ubuntu 18 prints meaningless value of first operand (nmemb)
  of calloc call:

  yugr at yugr-VirtualBox:~$ ltrace -e calloc ls
  libc.so.6->calloc(140737455811080, 64)                                                                                        = 0x7ffffe0f6a0d

  I would expect a much smaller value and indeed gdb reports completely
  different numbers:
