Clearly you don't write financial applications dealing with 30-year
bonds.  :-)

I agree, though, that 64-bit is probably the way to go here.  Anybody
who seriously cares about time should be running 64-bit apps now.

Perhaps we can nudge this process forward a bit by designing an
Autoconf macro that causes configure/make to default to 64-bit builds
on platforms that can support either 32 or 64.
