IIRC we have agreed and already partially implemented that most peaceful
solution is to use 'unsigned int' rather than 'ssize_t'. This was exactly
because of x64 platform tested by Vadim because unsigned int can be assigned
to int without extra warning while still preserve 'unsigned' nature. There was
one or two threads about it not so long ago.

Probably best thing would be to extract each issue and start new thread about
it, provide complete patches and be ready for lots of testing or comments
because what works smoothly for 'x64 with VS2005' can be awful for Mac or
other compiler/architecture.
