All the reports I got so far, or those that I have managed to keep 
track of in my email, are from users of 64-bit Windows, but running a 
32 bit perl.

My guess is that in this case a Win32::API->Import() with "L" as type 
considers "L" as 32 bits, while on the native machine is 64 bits. Is 
this the case? Can we do something?
