This was in the back of my mind as I typed it, since it came up last
week as well. However, I don't know which OSs this applies to, and
which it doesn't. For instance, on OSX you definitely need to include
it. I know that you USED to need it for Linux, so I don't know when it
changed (from 1.5 to 1.6?).

Either way, it's only applicable if you have 64 bit hardware.
Otherwise you just have to live with the explicit IO for accessing
files.
