Bug#438562: jedstate doesn't work on AMD64

[Marc-Jano Knopp]

Package: jedstate
Version: 0.5.4.transitional.1-5
Severity: important

jedstate doesn't work at all on AMD64. With the same recent_db, jedstate
on a i386 Lenny box works perfectly, while on an AMD64 Lenny box, it
does not.

Using strace, I noticed that (with the recent_db that worked flawlessly
on i386) jedstate on AMD64 at least sometimes uses absurdly high file
offsets:

  lseek(3, 70368744194048, SEEK_SET)      = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
