On 32 bit systems.

And last I checked (which was a very long time ago) they had a truly _crappy_ 
implementation of it in said library, so you pretty much wanted to avoid it 
anyway.

However on 64 bit systems, 64 bit integer division should be a sane thing to 
do.

I just added it and the linker barfed, with the gcc 4.0 in Ubuntu 6.06.  Quite 
possible I did it wrong...
