Likewise for current versions of UnixWare, on which sizeof(int) ==
sizeof(long).

However, the change would make procfs.c noncomformant with the UnixWare
proc interface, which -- according to the proc(4) man page --requires int
control messages.  This may become a problem if UnixWare becomes 64-bit.

What about using "CMDTYPE" instead of "long", and provisionally #defining
CMDTYPE in procfs.c as long?
