I'm not completely sure.  Why not just limit everything to INT_MAX?
size_t was created for a reason, and I think that reason is so
that you can declare all your character buffers to use size_t.
Since there's nothing tying size_t to int in any way, I don't know
what combinations you could end up with.  BFN.  Paul.
