IMO, we should just get rid of the use of "long" here. As far as I'm
concerned, using long in the core code at all is just unnecessary and
just increases the chances of having bugs.
How often do people forget that we support a 64-bit platform that has
sizeof(long) == 4?
Can't we use size_t and ssize_t if we really need a processor
word-sized type? And use int64/uint64 when we really want a 64-bit
type.
