No good programmer in the world breaks ANSI C, with out really good
reasoning behind it. The original expression made the hair in my neck
rise, I have been tracking down and destroying that kind of code now in
six months to make the transitions of code from RH8 (i386) to RHEL5
(x86_64). It was about the typical code with assumptions of memory that
don't work.

long long isn't really that type, ptrdiff_t is a much better choose.

/ Balp, Fist port to this list. (And I had issues with OpenJPEG in
opensim on my x86_84 host...)
