That's right.  Throughout the Cogit is the assumption that sizeof(long) == sizeof(sqInt) == sizeof(void *).  That's why I'm hoping we can use a C compiler which obeys this for win64.  It is nontrivial to fix, as I've already discussed.  Did my words fall on deaf ears and you're proposing to go ahead?
