I updated the fix a year or 2 ago, and tested the patch on debian 32bit and (more recently on) Mint 64bit. see http://sourceforge.net/p/unicon/bugs/146/ for the patch. FYI: The 64bit build was broken on Mint16-64 at last check, not finding libstdc++. (var LIBSTDCPP used by runtime.mak is not defined anywhere, should be in Makedefs after make Configure. iconc may need more.)
