Er, this was already fixed (mostly better) in rev.1.19.  Quad arithmetic
is used to inhibit overflow.  Overflow can only occur for multi-gigabyte
buffer sizes which can only even occur in theory on machines with
u_long larger than 32 bits (since sb_max has type u_long).  But sb_max's
larger than UINT_MAX cause bugs in sbreserve anyway, since the wrong
min() function is used for limiting sb->sb_max to sb_max.
