Cool. Yes, please, show it!

Hi Bruno,
Thanks for the detailed rundown on this patch. It's nice to get such
good feedback.

No, on 64-bit Solaris hosts, int is 32, size_t is 64;
this has been true since full 64-bit support was added
(Solaris 7 in the late 1990s, if I recall correctly).

Hi All,
When testing the pending release of inetutils on solaris 9/10, I

The following patch adds handling for this although I'm not positive
that it's the best way to do it. At the very least it's a starting
point for discussing
