    Problem Summary TSD4W.00167 These tests may fail on 64-bit architectures.
    Problem Text
    The tests are failing on the 64bit version of our xserver. In the test
    program init_args() is used to set up the argument list for the
    converter. The
    passed parameter is assigned to the first element of the list with the
    XtImmediate flag. The value is integer, but the variable is XPointer,
    in 64 bit architecture one of them is 64 bits the other is 32. At the
    asignment the integer is extended to 64 bits, having the first 4 bytes
    set to 0.

    The argument list is converted to another argument list inside the Xt
    library. For XtImmediate the address of the old argument list's
    corresponding field is assigned to the new list's corresponding field.

    XtCVT_ProcA() is the converter. It tries to retrieve the initial
    integer value from the incoming argument list that contains the
    address of the variable that holds the integer. It applies the cast
    val=(int)(*(int *)addr) and it results in val set to the first 4 bytes
    of the place pointed by addr which is 0. The last four bytes contain
    1

    I think the test suite is too simplistic. The argument list also
    contains a field which should store the size of the initial value.
    Seting up the size field in init_args() and interpetting it correctly
    in XtCVT_ProcA() should solve the problem.
