Currently, comms/hylafax fails to build on i386:

This error does *not* happen on amd64.
Apparently, u_int - ptrdiff_t promotes to u_long on i386, but u_int(?)
on amd64. Huh?
The cast below fixes it, and should be safe in the given context,
but still, I don't quite understand this.
I do not know why there is such a difference between platforms, anyway, ok.
Cheers & Thanks
