I think most of the problem is that in several places in the ndimage 
code an int pointer and a long pointer are being used interchangeably as 
if they were the same thing.  On 32-bit platforms this is usually true 
but  it is rarely true on 64-bit platforms. 

Thus, the code fails.  Most of these places should be picked up by a 
compiler and should be fixable in a pretty straightforward way.  I've 
already fixed many of them using output-logs of people with 64-bit 
systems (I don't have one myself).  

We need someone with a 64-bit system willing to track down the remaining 
instances.

It is also possible that there is a problem with the numcompat.h file 
and numcompat.c file on 64-bit systems that I am yet unaware of.   This 
also needs a 64-bit-system user to help debug.
