No, the patch carefully only changes those calls that take a 32-bit (actually positive "int" byte[]) container in the first place so that the calling code is consistent and calls to these methods get flagged at compile time if they provide inconsistent arguments. None of the arguments that actually are 64-bit were changed of course. Cheers, Mark
