Hey man,

Thanks a lot for the work. Because of internal coding standards, we've decided 
to cast the constant number to a size_t instead of modifying the first 
parameter to the function. The change is committed on revision 504.

we are also very intrigued of exactly why this has stopped you from compiling. 
Are you by any chance on a 64-bit machine?

Thanks again for the contribution.

Dan

Yes... It's a 64 bit Linux system.
Continue the good work.

Cheers...
