Certainly the size_t cast is pointless ... and I have no idea what
the comment in the commit message about bit shifts is about, this is
(was) a simple comparison of an unsigned with a signed, which the
cast to ssize_t turns into a signed comparison, which is as it should be.
There are no bit shifts.
