I don't see anything obviously wrong, but I'd bet a bug related to 
32/64-bit types.  Can you post a complete piece of code that can be 
compiled and run and demonstrates the problem?  Also, try compiling with 
-Wall -W and investigate any warnings that are produced.

By the way, errno 22 is EINVAL, "Invalid argument".  perror() is your 
friend.
