find "int32"

replace "int64"

I kid, fixing this will require an even greater amount of effort compared to the Y2K bug considering how many more linux devices have been deployed since then.

Consider how many of those linux devices are difficult or impossible to update, and you start to realize the mess we'll be in. At least Y2K affected systems that by and large could be updated easily.
