Hi, as the subject says, lin should be ssize_t instead of off_t. This works on Linux systems I have seen, because sizeof(size_t) is basically always sizeof(off_t). I don't know if there are 32 bit Linux systems with a 64 bit off_t ... But OpenBSD definitely has this one.
The type lin is used in patch as index to arrays, so SIZE_MAX should be definitely max. We need a signed version, so it should be ssize_t. Without such a switch, way too large lins are parsed without errors, exceeding limits in various parts of the source. For 32 and 64 bit Linux, there should be no difference, because sizeof(off_t) = sizeof(ssize_t) as far as I know. For other systems, this will definitely fix issues. Tobias
