Hi Fabio, Dang it I believe that is correct. I was going to use a VirtualBox with Xbuntu that I have at home, but IT had set this computer up for typical developer use within the company.
I guess I'll give it a try at home - over the holidays... Thanks for the help.

That would make sense because 0xffffffff is really too big for an int (in 32 bit systems). I guess everyone has been developing newt on 64 bit systems (OSX or Linux x86_64).
