I would be very surprised if this interpretation is legal.
If a `long int' is *allowed* to be shorter than a plain
`int' (or worse, a `short int') it can only be due to
sloppy wording of the standard.  It runs counter to the
intent of the `long' and `short' qualifiers.  ``Members
of the jury, use your Common Sense''!

On a somewhat related note, you guys should read the ANSI C
Rationale document to see what is meant by the `spirit of
C'.  See http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/rat/title.html
