If sizeof(int32_t) != sizeof(long) xdrstdio_putlong and xdrstdio_getlong will read/write incorrect values. >How-To-Repeat: I have written an example program that may be obtained at: http://deity.kaosol.net/xdrbug.tgz. If for some reason that is not available just create an xdrstdio stream and serialize a few values into it. Compare a md5 of that output on a 64 bit platform with the output on a 32 bit platform and they will differ. >Fix: NetBSD has already fixed this issue per PR lib/23960. See http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/rpc/xdr_stdio.c >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
