You guys sure work at odd hours.

I should have mentioned that when I put in the DEBUG lines I had to
not include the %j modifier as the DEBUG produces no output when it is
there.

I just tried removing the j from the snprintf line leaving %u and now
the value of unique_len is comming out apparently correctly.

The largest value of unique that I have seen is 4125756149 and the
largest value of unique_len is 11.

The Solaris man page for snprintf claims that the %j modifier should
work.
