Getting a StringPtr from Gestalt on 64-bit

Subject: Getting a StringPtr from Gestalt on 64-bit

My preference pane uses Gestalt(gestaltUserVisibleMachineName, &mySInt32), coercing the SInt32 into a StringPtr to get the Machine Name. On 64-bit I get a warning because StringPtr is a 64-bit pointer on that architecture. Does Gestalt() ensure that the returned pointer is in the low 4 gigs of RAM, or is there a more appropriate way to get the Machine Name that is 64-bit compatible?
