This is the wrong answer. The right answer is for BIND *and* DB to
stop stomping on namespace which is reserved for the user. We'll
probably rename our symbols to be something like db_intxx_t, which
will fix the problems, but Paul should do something similar. Ugly?
Yes, but sized types are pretty ugly to begin with.
