Responsible-Changed-Why: 
Throw this back to -standards, as it isn't what I originally thought.

I don't believe we can just change from int->size_t because it would
introduce ABI compatibility problems where sizeof(int) !=
sizeof(size_t). This will most likely have to wait until a libc major
bump.
