    Problem Text
    Assertions 60 and 66 for stropt.h for XSH 4 version 2 conformance
    require that the flags member of struct strpeek, and the flags member
    of struct strfdinsert be of type long.

    The datasize neutrality changes introduced in XSH 5 have changed
    these types to t_uscalar_t. This change was introduced due
    to the type long in 64-bit binary environments causing
    a binary incompatibility problem.

    A permanent interpretation is requested permitting LP64
    architectures supporting both 32-bit and 64-bit applications
    to use t_uscalar_t types instead of long for these structure
    members.

    The rationale for this request is XNET resolution XNET49-1
    (used in PINT4.009) and the notes from the Base WG teleconference
    of August 12th 1997, where it states:


    "Regarding mail item OGTGbase Sequence # 2624

    The working group feels that they agree in concept with the resolution
    that XNET has made, but believe that the Base specifications are
    bit-neutral , and that existing interpretations exist for the issues
    with respect to the XSH4v2 specification.
    If other problems do exist they should be considered
    on a case-by-case process.

    With respect to items related to changes between the two
    relevant POSIX.1 versions, and other changes between XSH4v2 and XSH5,
    the group agrees in principle but recommends that these also be
    reviewed on a case-by-case process (as above)."
