I don't know your system but I suppose that sizeof(int) == 4 and
sizeof(long) == 8 and you are doing something bad with printf. INTBIND
is supposed to write a 4 byte integer. Explaining what's going on
requires to understand how does variadic functions work and the
architecture you are using.
I cannot see the calloc call.
How is defined the int32? Usually DBINT is safer.
