RC> Well you have spilled the beans as it were.. I've been digging through RC> that circular bug mess on this exact issue.. i don't recall you saying anything about 64bit :( i hope this alignment stuff makes it into the rest of the code bases soonish... i was actually contemplating taking my code on my production OS/2 box and copying it over to my 64bit ubuntu box and letting it fly... i will thank you for stepping into that mess and bringing the bitness problem to light... i have to wonder who else has fallen into that trap without knowing it? rossC over at 123/500 has a very popular jamnntpd server and there has been some weirdness problems there that may be due to this bitness stuff... i don't know and i don't know what bitness he has compiled his jamnntpd for... he does use HPT for his tosser, IIRC... i think it does 32bit and 64bit as i'm using it on this 64bit ubuntu box and i compiled HPT here with no bitness stuff specified...

And the only RC> other working server user seems to be using OS/2 ... although his bug RC> patch was added to the V1.3 code on 9/10/16..... i don't know which bug patch that was... i posted several of them to this echo over a couple of weeks... i haven't been back into the code since then... i also hope you aren't mixing me up with jame or anyone else... jame is the one managing the ftnapps repo... )\/(ark Always Mount a Scratch Monkey Do you manage your own servers?
