Of course not needed, the header doesn't change. Actually, you don't 
even need
a computer, since size_t is the type returned by sizeof() and don't you 
believe that
on a 64-bit machine you are supposed to be able to compute sizes of 
things bigger
than 4 GB?

No, that's wrong. We are *both* responsible, since I'm the maintainer 
approving
your patch. And if you don't trust me after all the past discussions, 
the game is
over.

No. There are at least two wrong unsigned int around.
