  I changed from ssize_t to size_t.  All of the code needs a size_t,
except for one line.  Therefore, it's better to have it as "size_t"
everywhere.  That one line contains a simple work-around.

  The rest of the code can use size_t, and comparisons with other
variables also use size_t.  If it was using ssize_t, there would have to
be conversions all over the place.
