Re: [tkined] Compiled MIB Problem Under Linux Alpha

I looked into this a little; part of the problem is that SaveData()
writes e.g. numTCs as an int, but TnmMibReadFrozen() reads it as a
size_t, so on any system where sizeof(size_t) != sizeof(int) things
will break. Also, things like

    size_t poolSize;
...
    if (1 != fread((char *) &poolSize, sizeof(int), 1, fp)) {

will break even worse, since size_t may be a 64-bit value but you will
only read 32 bits into it.

This patch makes frozen MIBs work better, at least on FreeBSD/alpha.
