Re: int128 error

Jonathan,

I have read the manual, but my understanding was that the Intel core2 duo 
processors supported 128 bit width (from the intel core2 instruction set 
manual: "...and enabling support for 128 bit integers..."). I assumed that 
the reason long long was showing up as 64 bits instead of 128 was part of 
the problem that was causing __int128 to not work (perhaps a compiler flag I 
had missed or something else).
