 * integers. When one asks for the size of a 70K struct or array, the result 
 * requires 17 bits to express, so size_t must be a long type.  The type

 * not a short, because an int is what an old-style function definition
 * expects.  Thus using dev_t in a prototype would be incorrect.  It would be
 * sufficient to just use int instead of dev_t in the prototypes, but Dev_t
