Jeff,
I have the long int problem with gcc 3.2.3 when using -O2 or higher. No
problem with -O1 or gcc 4.1.1.
I have added a bugnote to Mantis.

Actually, from my perspective Mantis _is_ the best _first_ place to report
bugs because at least we have a list and if we neglect to take care of an
issue it stays on the list and it will get handled eventually.
Nevertheless, public disclosure on tech-talk is probably also a good way to
get the author's attention should they be busy with other tasks :-)
I had another look at Mantis 291 and it does appear that this is probably
one and the same as the gcc bug that is mentioned in the release notes. To
confirm that conclusion I am requesting that you let us know what version of
gcc was used. Thanks in advance.
PS: Here is my addition to the release notes concerning the GCC bug:
During testing of R3.14.9 I see a bug showing up only in optimized builds on
Linux using g++ 3.2.3 that I don't see with other compilers. This bug
appears to be related to failure of this particular compiler to follow the
strict alias rules specified in the standard when optimizing the byte
swapping templates installed for R3.14.9.
Problems
Red hat Linux g++ 3.2.3 when -O3 is specified
No problems
mingw g++ 3.4.2 -O3
Tornado 2.02 g++ -O2
Microsoft C++ 2005 full optimization builds
PPS: Sorry about neglecting to jump on this earlier.
Jeff

As a general rule if you *only* use Mantis to report a bug it might go
for some time before even being noticed by the maintainers. Problems in
Base that are described on tech-talk usually get looked at within a day
or two, and that's almost invariably going to be a better and faster
approach to getting fixes (it's much easier to have a conversation using
email than through Mantis bug notes).
