Indeed.  I am still an idiot.  I am the one who needs to apologise here, thank
you for paying attention and catching it so quickly.

Note to self: make sure to only apply patches directly from emails from now on.

I don't get it either, and I can't test it.  I trust the ppcle community
will commence shouting if the patches have done something horrible. However,
if there is any nonsense here, it predates my recent patch butchering,
because even the pre-patched code seems to mix 32bit and 64bit concepts
liberally.

If someone would like to apply (or send me) a patch that adds a comment
explaining why this code needs to look so odd, that would be very helpful!

Hopefully the repository at least reflects the changes you wanted now in
any case.  Sorry for the earlier sloppiness.

Cheers,
