Re: [libmicrohttpd] Possible bug on macOS Sierra

[Christian Grothoff]

Try casting the 8*1024*1024 to a "size_t" explicitly. I suspect on your
Mac-Machine, you have maybe a 64-bit size_t and then things go very
wrong if you pass a 32-bit argument.

Note that the microhttpd2-API that I've started to hack on is supposed
to categorically eliminate such API-usage bugs, but it'll take quite
some time to be implemented (main lesson I've learned so far: the change
is HUGE).

Happy hacking!
