My copy of types.h says:
#ifndef MAX_SUBID /* temporary - duplicate definition
protection */
#ifndef EIGHTBIT_SUBIDS
typedef u_long oid;
#define MAX_SUBID 0xFFFFFFFF
#else
typedef u_char oid;
#define MAX_SUBID 0xFF
#endif
#endif
EIGHTBIT_SUBIDS is not defined, so the atomic oid type is a u_long.
I would assume, given that there are over 30,000 PEN assignments, that
OIDs composed of u_char wouldn't work well in practice.
