--- Comment #2 from Piotr Pawel Stefaniak <pstef@freebsd.org> ---
This is purposely wider than size_t. get_num() is used by several functions,
including f_count() and the uintmax_t type makes it possible to copy
UINTMAX_MAX blocks. Some of the callers can compare the value against SSIZE_MAX
and yield an error if it is too large; otherwise, the value is converted to
size_t.
