I've never tried to make imapd work in 64-bit mode, or for that

a 64-bit compilers would have 64-bit longs; whereas most 64-bit
compilers have 32-bit ints and longs and use the new "long long"
type which wasn't in K&R.
I had problems just like this a couple of years ago working on an
UltraSPARC running NetBSD.
Mark helped me get patches in place for me that worked, but sadly, I
don't remember exactly
where they were. Lemme see if I can locate them.
Ahh, looks like it went into os_bsi.c, so it would be NetBSD/BSDi
specific. :-( Mark is
generally disinterested in changes to code that has been mostly
working, for understand-
able reasons. :-)
Anyway, assuming there's an archive of this mailing list
somewhere, the thread started
in September of 2004, and is Subject'ed:
64-bit problems with c-client imap2004a
At the end of this is code that went into imap2004b, but must not
apply to 64-bit builds
on Solaris. But, this will likely direct you to the problem.
Let me know if you need a hand, and I can dig out the code and
look at it again. :-)
