I read florican's results as showing that sizeof(CheckPoint) is already
different on 32-bit machines than 64-bit; it's repeatably getting this:

#   Failed test 'check that the slot state changes to "reserved"'
#   at t/019_replslot_limit.pl line 125.
#          got: '0/15000C0|reserved|192 bytes'
#     expected: '0/15000C0|reserved|216 bytes'

This test case was *not* well thought out.
