zdump on 64bit architectures being worked on?

As far as I know, zdump is working on 64-bit systems. Do note that time_t structures typically contain "year" elements that are less than 64 bits wide; when this is the case, very very negative and very very positive time_t values are associated with years that can't be represented using time_t's; this is why zdump shows "NULL" for these values.

Hi.

Is anyone looking at getting zdump(1) working on 64bit systems?

I'm currently parsing its output to generate some test suites and I'm
one 4 year old laptop away from having no 32bit systems to work on...
