Git-commit: cfcf2f11708f934d2bd294f973c2fcb0cc54f293
Patch-mainline: v3.8
References: bnc#808680
Target: openSUSE 12.3
We're stuffing a variable of type size_t (unsigned) into a ssize_t
(signed) which, even though both types should be the same number of
bits, it's just asking for sign issues to be introduced.
