Yes, this is an existing issue. If I take a stub C program that basically
builds a control struct and sends it to ARVerifyUser() it works just fine (when
compiled on a 64bit linux system). If I take that exact code and paste it into
a Perl XS file, it fails with the RPC error (90 Can't Encode Arguments). I
spent quite a bit of time looking into this. The BMC libraries embed the RPC
libraries (instead of using the libc routines) so stepping into the function
doesn't work.. so it's hard to judge exactly why it's unable to encode the RPC
call. Basically you pass in the control struct and the RPC routine translates
it to XDR. That's where it seems to be failing. I wasn't able to figure out
what the exact issue is.. but for some reason perl + arlib + 64 bit has some
inscrutable interaction that arlib + 64bit alone don't have.
