I suspect SPARC is 32 bit for Solaris compatability. time_t is a long on Solaris and hence 64bit (when compiling in 64-bit mode). Compatibility (with Solaris and Posix) requires time_t to be 64-bit and tv_sec to be a time_t. I hope we will get this right until 5.3 goes out. I'm running with a 64-bit time_t for two months now without problems. harti -- harti brandt, http://www.fokus.fraunhofer.de/research/cc/cats/employees/hartmut.brandt/private brandt_at_fokus.fraunhofer.de, harti_at_freebsd.orgReceived on Tue Dec 23 2003 - 00:10:06 UTC
