I should have said to change the default definition of PTR in file
"lib/udunits.inc" from "integer" to "integer*8" for your system
(rather than to "unsigned long" -- which won't compile because it's
not Fortran).  This assumes that your code includes "udunits.inc" and
declares all pointers to be of type PTR.
