These warnings look like they come from a system with a 64-bit address space
(size_t) but a 32-bit natural word size (int).  Most of them say the same
thing: the memory could hold an array so large (more than two thousand 
million elements) that the processor cannot fit an element count in a 
normal-size (int) register.

We could explicitly promise to never have an array with over two thousand
million elements by defining vsize differently.  I would ignore the warnings
until you start doing a lot of compiling on this system, and even then I 
would try to suppress this type of warning before changing the source code.
