No. As I said in the debian cyrus devel list, either ssize_t s =, or
leave it as int.  No reason to have signed/unsigned math for something
like that.

Also, we have metadata for why this thing exists, it was added by me to
Debian Cyrus 2.1 because of problems seen in the field.  We have the
problem documented, and the name of the reporter and tester, changelog
entries of that time, etc.  I didn't have time to send it in yet.

Comments on the patch are welcome, but please don't merge it as is.  I
will clean it up a bit and add the relevant metadata on why it exists
and what it attempts to do.

Also, this thing should really be two or three separate patches :p and
the manpage needs to document "-J".

This hunk can be dropped.
