Hi Kevin,

  This is only true as far as the 64 bit systems running on the 32 bit kernel,
which is all there is at the moment.

  Work has started on the 64 bit PowerPC Linux kernel, if Kaffe is compiled as a
64 bit app for that kernel then sizeof(unsigned long) = sizeof(void *) will be
true. Certainly not a big deal at this stage, but thought you'd be interested
none the less.

  Regards,

  Tom
