New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr>: The fastsearch algorithm uses a 32-bit mask for the boyer-moore compression table but stores it as a long. Since longs can be wider than 32 bits on some platforms (especially, most 64-bit Unixes), the actual mask width could be platform-dependant so as to improve the efficiency of the algorithm. Using the SIZEOF_LONG constant would probably do the trick.
