Just a quick warning --

Twitter switched to their new 64-bit "Snowflake" status ID generator system a couple weeks ago, and IDs are starting to be too big to be processed correctly on 32-bit PHP installations.

64-bit Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X servers running a 64-bit PHP installation should have no problems.

32-bit Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X servers, and all Windows servers, may have problems: * Twitter status ID numbers stored or displayed in exponent notation or with 0s in the last couple digits
* errors about DB entries already existing during import
* possibly incorrect links
* possibly incorrect mappings for favorite & repeat events

I've committed a workaround to the 0.9.x branch in git, which pulls a string form of the ID number which doesn't get corrupted this way. The fix will be in the next StatusNet release (0.9.7).
