>Description:
xdrstdio_getlong and xdrstdio_putlong do not correctly work if sizeof(int32_t) != sizeof(long).
>How-To-Repeat:
I have written an example program that can be downloaded from:
http://deity.kaosol.net/xdrbug.tgz.

However if for some reason that is not available just create a program that uses xdrstdio.  Write out a few bits of serialized data and get an md5.  The md5 will be different on 32 bit platforms than on 64 bit platforms.
>Fix:
Get deity.kaosol.net/xdr_stdio.c.patch (Its for freebsd sorry).

I think that patch should do the trick tho I have not completly tested it out.
