--- Comment #1 from Josh Stone <jistone at redhat dot com> ---
I believe these are just facing the symptoms of syscall wrappers, where every
argument is a simple C long, and an inlined syscall function has the proper
types.  So the outer function we probe for .call/return doesn't know signs.

This would be the ongoing work for bug 16716.  For a size_t argument, it should
probably be wrapped __ulong(), as syscall.read does for its $count argument.
