It allocates memory and we don't need it.
Proposed fix is actually for RELENG_5. We can also do some magic inside
du(1) to split 64bit value between two fields (fts_number/fts_pointer)
when needed (on 32bit archs), but it would be really hackish.

The only issue here is that we break ABI if intmax_t will be bumped to
128bits in gcc, but we probably will have much bigger problems then:)
I like this idea.
