Compilation Error on 64 bit Fedora Core 3

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

Having fought and lost some significant battles with FC3 and 64-bit
Opteron compiles (and SuSE, for that matter!), I'd suggest you consider
compiling in 32-bit compatibility mode and see how it performs.  You're
not likely to see too many benefits on this code from the 64-bit compilers.

I can add this to my list of things to investigate over the next week on
my Opteron test system, but it's not likely to get to the top of the
heap real soon.
