>Description:

NULL is defined (in stddef.h) for C++ as:
#define NULL 0
This is a problem in 64-bit world because the 0 is not a long int, but an int.
Thus, NULL's most significant bits are not set to 0 on initialization and
comparing against NULL is not really 0x00000.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
#define NULL (long int)0 ?
or 
#define NULL ((void*)0)
