Generally if something isn't used, then it shouldn't be included.  You 
specified your 'x' as digits[33], and you could easily delete the rest 
of the alphabet after 'f' and use digits[16] for 'x'.

Somebody (not you, i think) submitted a few test cases before that did 
something like:

printf(buf,"%s %d %c\n", "blah", 10, 'x' );
ok( strlen(buf) == 9, "wrong length\n" );

That doesn't test the code so well, so please make sure to check the 
output is correct in an unambiguous way. eg.

ok( !strcmp(buf,"blah 10 x"), "wrong output\n");

I'd check some combinations of stuff like:

( %I64x %0I64x %1I64d %i64x %i64d %I64D %50I64d %-1I64d %-50I64d etc )
for values: 0, -1, ~1, ~0, 100, -100
