Subject: *pcount type should be uint64_t

Hi Solar, magnum,

Since *pcount is updated inside crypt all, its value sometimes exceed
unsigned int range producing wrong c/s result. Currently *pcount is int
type which is clearly not sufficient.

Since it is a core bug I think it is better if you deal with this otherwise
I will try to fix this issue if you say so.

Regards,
Sayantan
