Yes, that's another possibility, but it breaks binary compatibility -
surely a black mark against a bug fix? - and I would expect 32-bit
accesses to be a little less efficient. It's fairly easy to select at
compile time, in any case. I'm attaching a patch against Boost CVS HEAD
that should make it work with both 32-bit and 64-bit longs. Could you
test this on HP-UX, David?

Ben.
