At the danger of being thrown to these dragons, it would be useful to 
capture the list of items where a 64-bit version is needed.  Perhaps 
just a CR which listed the known violators.  I suspect that the current 
situation is that they are captured in a number of CRs, which probably 
accounts for this slow trickle of "BTW: ..." postings.  (I mention this 
that something in the sac database would be particularly useful, but 
that certainly isn't a requirement.)

Just a thought....
