  The other worry is that if the system does not support 64 bit in all the 
places that it should, there could be other issues.  Eg, if %lld ends up not 
working right and stripping the value to 32 bit, you get issues there, etc.  I'm 
not saying that is necessary the case - I'm just saying that it could be 
difficult to know for sure if everything works as it should - one could think 
that if one area is broken, there could be others.

  Note that there is a pretty simple workaround to this problem - just set 
maxlevel to 110 in the exp table file, and comment out the last five levels. 
Perhaps not ideal, but I'm pretty sure if you do that, everything should work as 
expected.
