    Yes, I noticed that, but at the same time it seemed to be an
indication of the fact that an int is regarded as a 32-bit value.
While this doesn't create any problems with the particular piece of
code I mentioned, it might not be the case in other places in the
code.

    This is really reassuring. I was getting ready to sed the sources
a bit, but it is so much better to keep them as they are :)
    Thank you,
