Comment:

 (In [0ed824d0e7a548cb9a2fc4da692270475567d7d6]):[[BR]]
 Use g_direct_hash/equal instead of g_int_hash/equal for the hash table
 that
 holds the saved statuses. The effect is that this will take into account
 the different size of time_t across 32-bit and 64-bit systems. There
 should not be any side effects because it is only used at runtime for the
 hash key, and all the important data is stored in the value.

 This should stop any mysterious infinite loop problems on big-endian
 systems which were trying to use the MSB of the time as a hash key.

 Fixes #5887.
