that is hardly correct. any POSIX compliant system respects the z
modifier. please refer to the documentation:

ignoring the fact it's just butt-ass ugly, there is no guarantee that
sizeof(size_t) == sizeof(unsigned int) (and in fact is wrong on most
64bit operating systems). whoever wrote the patch probably just
assumed that because they were running on a 32bit system. but that
setup/assumption has screwed up a lot of code out there.
