The min/max call needed to have explicit types on some architectures

I don't understand how this happens given that v2.6.36-rc1~68
(MN10300: Fix size_t and ssize_t, 2010-08-12) was supposed to fix this
kind of thing.

Neither do I, but I'm including it now just to be consistent with other
stable series.
