... is still not a problem, because we're talking about an error code, not 
the partition size.  com_err error codes are signed values, and while they 
are 32 bits wide, UV_PartitionInfo is a local API, not an RPC, so provided 
the prototype is present (which it is), you'll be fine even on the rare 
system on which 'int' is 64 bits (as someone else pointed out, int will not 
be smaller than 32 bits on any system on which AFS runs).
