Works for us (OSF1 stimsrv.sti.jrc.it V3.2 41 alpha)

Sad thing is that the normal compiler eats both; and I see no
difference. But it does not seem to break things either.

However the compiler gives a warning; saying that it will
treat it as a normal int, rather than its own normal 64 bit
ones. 

However the gcc(2.7.1) compiler eats it fine as well; and gets it
wrong. So that might be a reason for change.
