 The problem is that on a 64bit platform with a PHP compiled for 64bit (not
 a 32bit PHP running on a 64bit platform) the php int is 8 bytes instead on
 4 bytes.

 The bitwise operators are there to mask off the top of the 8-byte int on
 64bit platforms.

 > I have tested the patch gettext-64-without-bitwise-ops.diff and it works
 on:
 >  * Linux x86_64, PHP 5.2.3
 >  * Linux i686, PHP 5.2.3
 >  * Linux i686, PHP 4.3.10
 >  * FreeBSD i386, PHP 4.4.0

 what it the value of {{{PHP_INT_SIZE}}} on the x86_64 PHP install - I
 expect it is 4 which why all your tests worked.
