prs_uint32 applied to pointers?

Hello!
Trying to build Samba on my FreeBSD/amd64 machine, I noticed a scary
warning about a pointer getting cast to an integer of lesser width.
Indeed, the following code seems to stick the file path /pointer/ into a
32-bit number:
uni_p = fl3->path ? (uint32)fl3->path : 0;
if(!prs_uint32("ptr", ps, depth, &uni_p))
return False;
Although the 32-bit systems will not notice, the code does not seem
right for 64-bit ones, where pointers are 64-bit wide. Can someone,
please, comment? Silencing the warning is easy, but there may be a
genuine problem pointed out here.
The file in question is samba-3.0.25rc3/source/rpc_parse/parse_srv.c.
Thanks!
