#2 yenc posts fail CRC but are otherwise fine

[Mark Frazer]

When posting with yenc encoding, the downloaded files
generate the following messages by pan when being decoded:

** WARNING **: Checksum for
`/export/home/mjfrazer/News/Pan/wtc-photo.r05' failed -
file may be corrupt

However the file is fine. Is ypost not computing the
CRC correctly? I have never seen this message from a
post from another posting agent.

thanks

John, you are the ypost man... any thoughts? Also, check
out the patch that is on the site.

This bug is caused by g++ compilation under 64bits systems. The long used to store the CRC32 is expected by the author to be 32bits, which it isn't at least under AMD64 (long is 64bits for g++) and you get this kind of errors:
CRC mismatch 45946B75 != FFFFFFFF45946B75
I changed the long to an int in yenc.h.
This fixed the problem.
