Of course not needed, the header doesn't change. Actually, you don't 
even need
a computer, since size_t is the type returned by sizeof() and don't you 
believe that
on a 64-bit machine you are supposed to be able to compute sizes of 
things bigger
than 4 GB?

approving
your patch. And if you don't trust me after all the past discussions, 
the game is
over.
