That's interesting. I'm quite sure the bug is _there_, even on
x86-64: you can't store a 64-bit pointer in a 32-bit integer on any
platform. Maybe for some reason the type descriptor gets allocated
below 4GB, though I don't see off-hand why that would be. I tried
rebuilding kino on an x86-64 Debian box we have around here but that
didn't get me very far since there are some build-dependencies which
can't be satisfied (this box is setup to use
debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org, which I thought was the
latest-and-greatest of Debian for x86-64).

Great, thanks for checking this out. Is there a test video somewhere
on the net that I could try?
