Yeah, this might be a (big?) problem on a 64-bit machine. Actually
using types like 'unsigned int' should be considered bad and instead
only fixed-size types like u_int32_t (I think this would be just
u_int32 on Solaris) should be used.

I think typedef-s of various flavors of int-s and char-s are the most
abused in most software. Multiple OS-es define different kinds of
types based on the int-s. Like the difference between u_int32_t on
FreeBSD and u_int32 on Solaris. On top of that application software
define further types. If Linux already defines '__u32' in its system
header files, then I wonder why there are definitions of this in the
following places:
kdeadmin/kuser/kuqconf.h, line 48
kdenetwork/krfb/srvloc/uuid.cpp, line 44
kdeutils/klaptopdaemon/smapidev.c, line 51
I wonder how this code would compile under Solaris and various other
flavors of Unix.

I expect this should work out fine.
