Looking at the des.h from 1.2.8, it appears that on alpha, the size is 
"int" not long:

#ifndef __alpha
#ifdef __sparcv9
/* On 64bit solaris long's are 64 bits, doh... */
#define KRB4_32 int
#else
#define KRB4_32 long
#endif
#else
#define KRB4_32 int
#endif

"These censorship operations against schools and libraries are stronger
than ever in the present religio-political climate. They often focus on
fantasy and sf books, which foster that deadly enemy to bigotry and blind
faith, the imagination." -- Ursula K. Le Guin
