a non-issue on 64-bit platforms

Whether a system is 64-bit or not isn't very relevant to this -  
that mostly establishes what the memory address space is, *not* the  
size of integers that can be used by the system.

solaris suffers from this problem. you cant use big disks with 32bit  
solaris kernels.
