FD passing on 64-bit is hosed

[Peter Avalos <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I first discovered this by running dovecot2 from pkgsrc, and got the
following errors:

dovecot: imap-login: Error: fd_send(imap, 20) failed: Invalid argument

After some discussion on IRC, we came to the conclusion that something
isn't right with the CMSG macros on 64-bit systems.

Venkatesh Srinivas wrote a test program that I've attached to this email
that prints "hello" on 32-bit, and loops forever on 64-bit.

		int mysecretfd = recvfd(j[0]);

	} else {
		sendfd(j[1], 1);

		pause();
