It just occured to me, that actually things _are_ bad. Assume, that you have
generic zsh script that takes stat output and makes some computation ... the
simple thing is size(file) < free_space ... and hits a large file (and even
free space is already dangerous - I'm currently running with 9GB filesystem.
It's O.K.in blocks - but not in bytes). This would mean, that all internal
computation should be done in 64 bits ... too bad really (problem with zftp
I mentioned is exactly of this nature)
In other words, really subtle problems may arise. That is exactly the reason
why I'd prefer LP64 mode that does not have these problems.

Well, we need to have a list of possible compiler flags that force LP64
mode. Our system is using -Klp64. IRIX? Solaris? Linux? Somebody's written,
that zsh runs on Irix in LP64 mode. Gotta look in archive.
