   i don't recall you saying anything about 64bit :(  i hope this alignment stuff   
   makes it into the rest of the code bases soonish... i was actually   
   contemplating taking my code on my production OS/2 box and copying it over to   
   my 64bit ubuntu box and letting it fly... i will thank you for stepping into   
   that mess and bringing the bitness problem to light... i have to wonder who   
   else has fallen into that trap without knowing it? rossC over at 123/500 has a   
   very popular jamnntpd server and there has been some weirdness problems there   
   that may be due to this bitness stuff... i don't know and i don't know what   
   bitness he has compiled his jamnntpd for... he does use HPT for his tosser,   
   IIRC... i think it does 32bit and 64bit as i'm using it on this 64bit ubuntu   
   box and i compiled HPT here with no bitness stuff specified...

   i don't know which bug patch that was... i posted several of them to this echo   
   over a couple of weeks... i haven't been back into the code since then... i   
   also hope you aren't mixing me up with jame or anyone else... jame is the one   
   managing the ftnapps repo...
