Size_t is implicitly used by memcpy(), malloc(), and other OS 
functions which require a size type.  Doing size computations using 
the size_t type is not a bad thing, especially if it feeds an 
interface already using the size_t type.

On the flip side, Windows provides only a 32-bit stdio API (even in a 
64-bit build), which results in more opportunity for problems.
