/* Maximum number of bytes to read or write in a single system call.
This works around a serious bug in Linux kernels before 2.6.16; see
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=612839>.
It's likely to work around similar bugs in other operating systems, so do it
on all platforms. Round INT_MAX down to a page size, with the conservative
assumption that page sizes are at most 2**18 bytes (any kernel with a
page size larger than that shouldn't have the bug). */
