Hmm. This part is complex, I need to look at it more.
A signed int is a good buffer size limit for 32-bit user space.
But this also means that syslog might experience some problems
doing SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL on a 32-bit system with a 4G log_buf.
Not to mention SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL on a 64-bit system with a
log_buf=32G. So *maybe* things are alredy a bit broken in this
department. Dunno, need to think more.
