Thanks, Martin!

This should be "long long" if you want a 64-bit value.
Can you please resubmit?  Thanks!

On x86:

  $ ./sizeof-long
  sizeof(int) = 4
  sizeof(unsigned long) = 4
  sizeof(long long) = 8

On x86_64:

  $ ./sizeof-long
  sizeof(int) = 4
  sizeof(unsigned long) = 8
  sizeof(long long) = 8
