Workaround: None. +64-bit support: + +Values are currently computed as 32-bit values, sign-extended to +"long", and output with "L" suffixes.

The com_err library only look at the low 32 bits, so +this is mostly just an issue for application code -- if anything +truncates to 32 bits, and then widens without sign-extending, the +value may not compare equal to the macro defined in the .h file.
