By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Revert int size change in krfb.h

When connecting to an AMD64 krfb server, it will not accept the correct password due to a word size issue.  This was a regression somewhere around 2008, the Debian bug mail refers to it.

The attached patch fixes the problem, I've been running a patched 3.5.10 for about a couple of years and not found any adverse effects from the fix.
Comment 1 Timothy Pearson 2011-10-22 12:39:03 CDT 
Patch looks sane to me.  I wonder what the original changes were supposed to fix though; we will need to monitor for unintended breakage on other architectures.

Committed to SVN in revision 1260217.

Thanks for reporting, and for the patch!
