I very much doubt that the problem is NetBSD-specific.
It never happend on x86_64 FreeBSD btw.
On the other hand, it has already occurred on Haiku as well.
The code as it is makes non-portable assumptions.
Unless of course these platforms somehow violate the
C standard with their ptrdiff_t definitions, which
we should check as well.

But if you don't want to waste any more memory,
we will find a better solution.

Best regards,
Robin
