Why wouldn't we limit it to LONG_MAX and change round_pipe_size() to
take an unsigned long in argument instead ? On 64-bit it would allow
more than 2GB (even if I really doubt anybody will ever need this).

Also, strictly speaking in your case it's not INT_MAX which is the
absolute limit but UINT_MAX - PAGE_SIZE since it's a round up issue
before being a shift issue. But that's mostly a detail I guess.

Overall I think your change is right.

Willy
