it has nothing to do with 32bit bits.. we are just lucky on memory allocations
with 64bit that the out of bounds memory access does not cause a crash. The
compiler or glibc might change alignment and then there will be crashes on
AMD64 as well.
a.) Somebody fixes libdbi/libdbd-sqlite3
b.) Somebody changes OpenBSC to not use libdbi (preferred)
c.) One downgrades to libdbi 0.8.x
d.) One doesn't build 32bit package
