Thanks for the tip. I've changed the appropriate lines (including  
where referenced as u_int64_t) and compiled.

Unfortunately it still doesn't succeed:

growfs da1p1
...
new file systemsize is: 3662108143 frags
Warning: 60028 sector(s) cannot be allocated.
growfs: not enough new space

Any further ideas ?

btw. Sorry for twice posting the same mail, i had the impression the  
first attempt  didn't work..
