I wonder what exactly this patch was fixing ...
It was a fix to 0.10.0a, as I remember. I think there was an "IA-64" bug a while ago that turned out to be due to a pointer-vs.-integer problem and that was fixed by fixing data types (or changing the code so that we weren't stuffing pointers into integers); perhaps that was the bug they were fixing. (Perhaps with the advent of x86-64 people will stop calling LP64 problems IA-64 problems.)
