I spotted a possible problem while looking at the request processing code. There is a function in pint-request.c called "PINT_request_disp" that calculates an integer return value by summing together 64 bit offsets. On a 32 bit machine this might lead to an overflow. I don't know enough about the request processor to know how to trigger it for testing, though. I have added some print statements to this function to see what kind of values come out, but it always returns zero when I do contiguous reads and writes. I assume that you would have to build a complex datatype of some sort to exercise it.
