Do you have a pointer? Also the extension should probably be documented.

On 64 bit platforms, the read can also be fixed by a simple patch like the one
in comment #1 (at some point I have even tested it). Since 64 bit platforms are
becoming the mainstream, I think this fix could be good enough. The dirty
details to implement the read on 32 bit platforms probably do not worth the
required work.
