Norman,
If the hash is different and that is the basis of determining equality for a
variant then Intel Mac and Win32 are broken because they say Integer and
Int64 values are the same. (I'd argue this is the correct functionality).
However it's handled internally, the inconsistent results returned between
PPC and Intel builds is a REALbasic bug.
