Not a problem in the UN*X and Windows ILP32 environment and in the
UN*X LP64 environment, but it causes the Microsoft compiler to
(correctly) warn about a conversion from a 64-bit integer to a 32-bit
integer in the Windows LLP64 environment. Cast sizeof - or any other
size_t value - to (gulong) before passing it as the length argument to
g_snprintf().

Ouch !
As you know, sizeof is used in *many* places in Wireshark when calling
g_snprint. This was true even before the recent changes.
Is there any other approach than adding an explicit cast to each and
every usage of sizeof when calling g_snprintf & friends ??
Thoughts ??
(If necessary, I'll go through and change to use a cast in all the
required places. It shouldn't be too hard with Emacs).
