b) never ever should read() be asked to read more than SSIZE_MAX, this  
should be true for every platform on the planet? You may want to have is 
smaller than SSIZE_MAX (like the current 8MB vs. the possible 2TB on 
Linux), but surely never larger?

Se also $gmane/232469, where that issue cropped up for MacOS X 64bit?
