While I very much appreciate the effort to switch to size_t where
appropriate (and the places we historically used ulong for size of
in-core memory region are the most appropriate places), such an old
series crashes with in-flight topics big time.  Can we get an update
on a more recent base?

No need to rush, as I'll be slowly processing the backlog to catch
up with the list traffic for a few days.

Thanks.
