I analysed the enigma.score and state.xml - nearly perfect, but the 
userid is stored as a hex dumped string "1AE15C2FA3ABFF84" and I did 
read this string word by word (4 chars at a time) via

unsigned i1, i2, i3, i4;
sscanf("1AE15C2FA3ABFF84","%4lX%4lX%4lX%4lX", &i1, &i2, &i3, &i4);

I know I have been warned not to use sscanf, never, never in live, but I 
did it twice.

The size specification element "l" (L) should mean an integer or 
unsigned due to my docs. But it must be wrong in case of AMD64. Does 
anybody knows how scanf is implemented for 64 bit architectures?

Meanwhile I will switch these two cases to a byte oriented scan.

@Aaron: I will send you a patch for testing lateron. I would like to 
know the results before adding the patch to the development trunk.

Thanks

Ronald
