using literal zero for NULL

[mikecorn <mikecorn t-online de>]

I just tried rebuilding my GTK apps for a 64 bit Linux system (Fedora core
5), and had an ugly surprise: random segmentation faults. I traced at least
one of them to my lazy habit of using a literal zero in place of NULL for an
optional function argument or end-of-arg-list indicator. I speculate that
the compiler is supplying a 32 bit zero where a 64 bit zero is needed.
Correct? If so, it seems this is a compiler bug, since the type conversion
should be automatic. Can someone confirm this?
