As far as I can tell, cdb++ is a separate implementation of cdb for
vmailmgr. It should probably be discussed on the vmailmgr list or the
bgware list, described at <URL:http://lists.em.ca/>.

I haven't looked through the code extensively, but after about 10
seconds of examining it, I noticed this in cdb++.h:

typedef unsigned long uint32;

Changing that line appropriately (find out which type is 32-bit for your
compiler) may clear up your problems. I don't have a 64-bit machine to
test.
