Yes, longs are 64-bit on alpha, just like the amd64. On my alpha, it
segfaulted in the same way and at the same point as on my amd64 box. It
would, however, be interesting to know whether the same problem exists
on ia64. Unfortunately, my supply of ia64 boxes is somewhat
limited. :-)
There are some subtle differences between alpha and amd64 with
regards to gcc code generation that at times makes the alpha less prone
to 64-bit issues, but that isn't the case here.
