>Description:
This code fragment should be using %ul instead of %ld for both fields.

	if (pflag) {
		(void)snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "T%ld 0 %ld 0\n",
		    (long)statp->st_mtimespec.tv_sec,
		    (long)statp->st_atimespec.tv_sec);
		(void)write(rem, path, strlen(path));


>How-To-Repeat:
Create a file with a st_mtime that has the high bit set.  Attempt
to copy it with "rcp -p foo target:."
where target is a 64-bit system such as an Alpha (running D/U in this
case).  Will fail with a "mtime.sec not delimited" screwup message
due to presence of a minus sign.

However, it should not be necessary to reproduce this to realize that
the given code fragment is a time bomb, so to speak...
