But for a _very_ long time it didn't and it had to do IIRC with assuming 
sizeof(int) == sizeof(void*), as it used to store pointers in int arrays 
or something similar.. But indeed, it also has been fixed for _quite_ a 
long time now (a year or two) :D

I do remember the pain of having to setup a 32 bit chroot system to do 
some supercolliding and also kind of lost track of SC for it was always 
a hassle. I'm glad it works so well now :D
