I've got a report of a similar warning in vdr-xine. I suggest this solution:
esyslog("ERROR: can't allocate %ld bytes for index '%s'", (long)(size

To be honest, I don't like this. Shouldn't this work on both 32- and 64bit systems without the need of typecasting?
The return type of sizeof() is size_t. The size of size_t is implementation-defined. With GCC that's unsigned int on ix86 and unsigned long on x86_64.
Does this mean that one would have to use different conversion specifiers on 32- and 64bit systems? Sounds like a compiler bug to me, because the source code should compile corretcly on both systems...
