Hmm... 

1) no feedback from poster when asked to describe the circumstances of the
failure --- i.e. we don't know if there's anything actually broken to be
fixed.  In particular, I insist on an explain why gnuplot seemed to work
flawlessly on 64-bit platforms so far.

2) I don't like the way it's implemented.

So I'm going to check in a different patch.  The pointer cast in question
really is atrocious, now I'm looking at it.  I'll put in a time_t
variable, but keep read_int as the main routine to do the reading.
