Message:

Mac and Linux differ in the data-type given to 'off_t'. For Mac it is 'long long int' and for Linux it is 'long int'. This fix ensures our GDBM uses the same size for both, allowing them to read the same GDBM files. Chose to make off_t 'long' rather that 'long long' as this is what Linux seems to do (at least the CentOS in the lab). An improvement would be to investitage why Linux is only 'long' and see if there is a setting to make it use long long'
