>Description:
XDR stdio is broken on 64 bit platforms. If sizeof(int32_t) != sizeof(long) xdrstdio_putlong and xdrstdio_getlong will read/write incorrect values.
>How-To-Repeat:
I have written an example program that may be obtained at:
http://deity.kaosol.net/xdrbug.tgz.
If for some reason that is not available just create an xdrstdio stream and serialize a few values into it. Compare a md5 of that output on a 64 bit platform with the output on a 32 bit platform and they will differ.
>Fix:
NetBSD has already fixed this issue per PR lib/23960. See
