Thanks to the wonderful geniuses at Microsoft, not all the world uses LP64. IL32 is a thing. And this code works on those platforms.

These changes do not break LLP64 (this is the correct name for the 64-bit Windows model).

If you're going to submit a patch, submit a correct one. It's that

The buffer size is a separate issue from this. Feel free to fix it, now that you found it.

The patch I submit fixed your software on systems where time_t doesn=E2=80=99t fit into a long, all of them, and that *will* include 64-bit Windows at least in 2038, except some architectures need these fixes right now. They don=E2=80=99t break anything else before 2038, and afterwards, nothing new is broken worsely either.

simple. If you refuse to do that, then go away.

You know what, I=E2=80=99ll just do that and leave you to fix your software on your own, clearly you are oh so utterly competent in doing that.
