Exactly. On the other hand I verified that it works perfactly at
Sparc II processor which is 64 Bit as well.

Thanks for the help. As I said the fixed type casting I tried did not help
very much. I can't invent patches without deeper debugging of the heap/stack
which is obviousely in a very bad state.
The Debian package contains some patches from former maintainers. I
just mark the relevant point of code by two printf statements which are in
treetool/size.c and append the patch which just make the result visible
but does not do anything else. (The extra patches besides the printf
statements are other patches from former Debian maintainer.)
If someone likes debugging feel free to start.
A really crude workaround would be:
if ( nd->x == 0 ) {
fprintf(stderr, "This program is broken on this architecture. Sorry\n");
exit(-1);
}

Kind regards and thanks for your effort
