s3: Fix a 64-bit BUG
Quick explanation why this is a problem:
It is not safe to pass a pointer to a uint32_t into a routine that expects
a size_t *. The routine that this pointer is passed to has no chance to find
out that in reality it was passed a pointer to a uint32_t. On platforms where
sizeof(size_t)==8, we get a nice overwrite of a stack area that should not
be overwritten.
As this happens over an over again: Does someone know a means to make gcc
stop with an error in this case?
