   04 Nov 16 14:12, you wrote to me:   
      
    ml>> ahhh... 64bitness hasn't been indicated... i've been compiling my   
      
    RC> I indicated that from the start Ubuntu server 14.0.4.5 *64b*   
      
   it wasn't prominent and repeated or otherwise made obvious... i'm on kubuntu   
   14.04.5 64bit here on this workstation and all the hosted VMs are ubuntu   
   server but a mix of 32bit and 64bit... i've not yet attempted to build or run   
   jamnntpd on any of them but it has been considered... you posted a slew of   
   messages... many quite verbal but this being a 32bit vs a 64bit problem was   
   not evident until now... ace in the hole? bullshit... if you knew this was the   
   problem causing your message base corruption, you should have said so from the   
   beginning...   
      
   it is also not a coding problem causing the different variable sizes between   
   32bit and 64bit... it is a declaration problem when the variables are   
   declared... it is only a problem because compiler maintainers made the bad   
   decision to change existing variable types and make them larger instead of   
   creating new types for them... new types had to be created any way so that   
   would not have been a problem and their decision has caused even more   
   problems... this situation is also not limited to C compilers... i've seen it   
   in pascal compilers, too... i'm sure it exists in many different languages as   
   well...   
      
   now, if someone would be so kind as to post what changes are needed for the   
   variable declarations so we don't need to worry about the arch or have to   
   allow for multi-arch on 64bit systems, it would be a good thing... some folks   
   like to run pure 64bit with 32bit multi-arch totally disallowed and banned...   
   i'm surprised that you even allow 32bit on your 64bit setup... especially   
   since you are so adamant about this and some political stuffs you've   
   participated in...
