Note that as explained in the commit, the previous use of size_t means 
this problem only exists on systems where the maximum array size is 4B, 
which means those running 32-bit operating systems.  The combination of 
someone running a RAID array, or modern hard drives, with more than 2TB 
of free space on a single filesystem, and still continuing to use 
antiquated 32-bit versions of Linux, is sufficiently rare that no one 
even noticed the problem until late last year.
