Can anyone give me an answer on this Debian bug report, please?:
Size is still defined as unsigned int in 6.4. Paul is suggesting that this
be changed to size_t for compatibility with alpha.
Is that correct?

Subject: Bug#26778: postgresql-dev: postgresql/c.h typedefs Size as 'unsigned i nt', should be 'size_t'
Package: postgresql-dev
Version: 6.3.2-11
Using the above wrong type for "Size" leads to conflicts with system
prototypes, e.g. palloc() which is apparently a define for malloc().
Replacing the "typedef unsigned int Size;" with "typedef size_t Size;"
leads to a usable system again; at least, on Alpha, where "unsigned int"
is NOT the same as "unsigned long", unlike i386.
Thanks,
Paul Slootman
