Oh, then the error was somewhere else...

In fact, this whole thing is messy, because there should be a distinction
between integers and 32 bits integers. In fact SI was originally supposed
to be the 32 bit integer type. However, after a while, it was rather being
used as the unit for graphics. We probably should

1) Rename SI -> something like "graphical int".
2) Replace int and SI by something like "32 bits integer"
   whereever appropriate.
3) Change the configuration file such that "graphical int"
   and "32 bits integer" will surely be 32 bits integers
   on all architectures.

David: can you put this on the bug list as a reminder?
