This patch reverts http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/diff/?id=57ab0395ad31761e27ef6d5aa3af68cc3e4d71b2 It may fix #661. Thanks to kcg369 for pointing it out. Signed-off-by: Adrien Destugues <pulkomandy@pulkomandy.tk> The initial issue was the storage of a pointer in an int32 for input method cookies. This was fixed in two ways: - The int32 was initally replaced with a void*, which allowed to store a complete pointer, but changed the format of the BMessages used for communication, breaking Canna. - Then, the code was changed to not use a pointer and instead use an int32 for the cookie (see #8831). However, the int32 was still cast into a void* when putting it into a BMessage, so the problem was still there for Canna. This commit reverts the remaining parts of the initial solution and restores the ABI to use int32 everywhere. Fixes #661.

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
