For what it's worth, I remember this size_t cast to int issue quite well
with LinuxBios.  About a year ago, they started converting their size_t
to int after the compiler started complaining.

For kicks, I'm using Gentoo gcc-4.1.2 now.

My install history states I compiled this gcc version:
Fri May 18 19:53:55 2007 >>> sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2

Prior, I think I was on gcc-4.1.1 and guessing no prerelease either.

Guess this explains why some devs on LinuxBios were still actively using
size_t during this time period!
