[Live-devel] ServerMediaSession::generateSDPDescription breaks if time_t is a 64-bit long long but sizeof(long) == 4

[gback]

Hi,

in ServerMediaSession::generateSDPDescription the format specifier %ld 
is used to print fCreationTime.tv_sec,
which treats this variable as if it is of type long. However, to avoid 
the Year 2038 problem, time_t today is typically 64bit.
On machines using the LLP64 model, long is only 32bits and time_t is 
expressed as a long long type.
Hence on those machines, this code breaks.

This was discovered (a long time ago?) by a Michel Promonet, a 
contributor to Live555, but for whatever reason their patch
seems to have gotten lost.  See the URL below.

Would you consider fixing this in the main Live555 codebase?
