No, it is correct that this functions silently discard upper bits on
64bit arches. Sun defines this functions for 32bit values only (is from
the old SunOS days). For 64bit you have to use the newer xdr_int64_t 
and xdr_uint64_t functions.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
