No, Aric is correct, although it doesn't make a difference on the 32-bit Intel platform. On others sizeof(long) might not be equal to
sizeof(void*)

Alexandre explained that already. That's a historical thing. Anyway, Alexandre has fixed this already when he committed the patch.
Yes, but it should be a janitorial task to convert all handles that are longs in the .spec file to ptr. Why make it harder on ourselves in the long run?
