I don't know that it's 64-bits, actually. There's other bogosity in there, and some of it may just manifest harder on these platforms. I asked Wolfram Gloger about that code, and he gave a totally bogus explanation (ie, valid for GNU Emacs, which has tag bits in the _upper_ bits, but not for XEmacs, where all tag bits are in the _low_ bits) of why things were blowing up. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
