On 64 bit platforms like x86_64, I had some problem with openbox
2.2.3.
When starting 'epist' or when calling '[restart]' or '[exit]',
openbox ran into an endless loop sucking up all memory.
The attached patch fixes the problem for me.
The patch may not be perfect, it works for me, but I don't know
whether it is absolutely correct.
I checked that it still works fine on 32 bit machines though.
Anyway, 'long' is not the same as 'int' on x86_64, which caused the
problem.
I'm not sure whether this code is still relevant for openbox3, but as
I made this patch anyway already it may be useful for someone if I
post it here.
