XSerializeEngine::alignAdjust() contains a dangerous cast

           Summary: XSerializeEngine::alignAdjust() contains a dangerous
                    cast
           Product: Xerces-C++
           Version: Nightly build (please specify the date)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Miscellaneous
        AssignedTo: xerces-c-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: David_N_Bertoni@lotus.com


This member function casts a pointer to a long.  On platforms where a long is 
smaller than a pointer, this will cause truncation (64-bit Windows is one such 
platform).  It would be better to cast this to size_t to perform the division.
