What does "sizeof(long)" give? 4 or 8? Note that (for historical reasons), integer values are held internally as "long" rather than "int". This is so pervasive that it would be extremely difficult to change now. I believe that what's been done to address this problem, is to mask off the bottom 32-bits of all integer values (other than Counter64) - probably when building the PDU. You could either tweak your library code to do the same, or do an equivalent masking when setting the values. As long as the *value* is 32-bits, it doesn't actually matter if the variable that holds it is 64.
