Martin,

Thanks for the note.  The conclusion seems to be that the OGDI VRF
driver (and possible the OGDI RPC protocol?) is not currently 64bit safe.
I am not expecting to look into this in the near future but it is good to know.
(I have replied partly as an excuse to cc: ogdidev about the issue). 

Best regards,
