1 year ago unsigned long is 8 byte, but a 4 byte uint32_t is expected. As the long in the conversion routine is not initialised, we seem to have 4 bytes of garbage in the header of all the cores that have files attached.
with mingw windows compilation, the unsigned long is only 4 bytes. so this makes some weird stuff.
best way is to fix this and to skip the 4 garbage bytes, or we won't be compatible to older core files.
On linux the unsigned log embed_file_offset is 8 bytes long, with the windows build it occupies only 4 bytes.
Need to make this a better datatype and check what FDISK expects here and what our old core use (probably the 8 byte long number).
