Aah, the compiler didn't complain because the getbsize() interface
was changed between -CURRENT and -STABLE, and it now takes a
'size_t *' instead of an 'int *' to fill in with the length of the
string.  (To me, this change seems absolutely ridiculous, because
the number in question is seldom greater than 10, much less 2^64.)
