The spec actually says it should be a SQLPOINTER. Changing to that
unleashes a whole barrel of extra fun unfortunately.

That's a good point - it didn't even cross my mind that that code is
only useful on Windows. Thanks Tom!

There have been 64bit versions of Windows for Itanium for ages, and
2003/XP have also been readily available now for a few months. That
said, psqlODBC definitely doesn't support 64 bit builds on Windows yet.
