Hello,

I have a bug with "swish-e-2.4.3" on a sparc64.
I can compile, I can build an index file, but when I want to make a
search in the result they are some 0 instead of the rank and the
filesize.
This pb dont appears on others computers (amd64, x86).

I look for the pb in the source code and I found the pb in the file
"docprop.c", they are a bug in the conversion (cast) from a "unsigned
char propValue[1]" to a "*(unsigned long *)" in the lines 159, 170,
522 and 534.

This bug is also in the current version of swish-e.




Thank you,

I propose the following patch :
