Hi Tom,

Good to hear from you again!

I am confused.  Which of the following is true on a 64 bit system running on a
32 bit kernel?

A).  sizeof(unsigned int) > sizeof(void *)

or

B). sizeof(unsigned int) < sizeof(void *)

If A) is true, then my stack alignment macro will still work.  If B) is true, I
am in trouble.

Sounds good!  When IBM is ready to start giving 64bit systems to help
developers, let me know! ;-)

Take care,

Kevin
