32-bit toolchain warnings about ne HOT 1 CLOSED

You're right. Those line of code temporarily store the pointers in line descriptors as integer offsets. Initially the pointers are syntactically too small (32 bit), but the offsets are in a memory-mapped file, so semantically they are 32-bit, too. The last two warnings are actually widening conversions, so there's no problem there.

The real issue is that it doesn't make any sense to have a 32-bit editor with 64-bit line lengths, line numbers and so on, but making this configurable would be a lot of work.
