Actually, it does. On Dengke's system apr_off_t is a 32-bit type, so
the type of the ternary expression is 32-bit before the patch and 64-bit
after it, for the reasons you gave (snipped).

I agree, it looks like APR on Dengke's system set APR_OFF_T_FMT to
a 64-bit type and apr_off_t to a 32-bit type. This should be fixed in
APR (in fact, it may have already been fixed; I doubt Dengke was using
APR trunk). Anyway, svn_fs_fs__unparse_footer() is definitely correct
as it stands in trunk today.

Dengke: try upgrading APR and recompiling svn against that. (And check
the apr_off_t/APR_OFF_T_FMT definitions)

Cheers,

Daniel
