OK, it's fixed. Actually, that file has been checked in five times just in
July.

I usually just fix these LP64 problems without saying anything, but since
you brought it up on the general list, it's an opportunity to preach about
LP64-safe programming. :-)

	The problem:

		printf("%d", sizeof something);

	The compiler issues a warning in 64-bit environments, the reason
	the warning doesn't always happen:

		sizeof returns type size_t, which is an int in ILP32,
		but a long in LP64

	The possible solutions are obvious:

		A.  Cast to (void *) and use %p

		B.  Cast to (int) or (unsigned int)

		C.  Cast to (long) or (unsigned long) and use %ld
