Right, I could have thought of that.

The structure is changed along with the functions called.

Hrm, I think if users of this pass FTSENT pointers around
among themselves, this could indeed lead to problems. Damn.

How about providing a libfts64? (Or, more generic, a library
where everything where this is an issue has been built with
a 64-bit off_t)
