(shudder)  that's a bad scene.  Casting pointers to int's is always a bad
idea.  Casting pointers to ints on a system with 64 bit pointers is a
REALLY bad idea.  Sorry I don't have any useful answers for you except that
your code will be better in the long run if you don't cast from pointer to
int and back.
