[Spread-users] RESOLVED - Issue with Spread going silent

[Melissa Jenkins]

I believe it's a mismatch in the header files.  

FreeBSD defines the iovec structure using size_t, which on the 64 bit versions is 64 bits and different from the int.

Not sure what other operating systems use size_t for iovec as FreeBSD is our primary platform :)
