    Is the base value of the field size_t? If so, then it's ulong on
64-bit archs and uint on 32-bit archs. Maybe it's a good time then to
actually get the sysctl and tunables work that I started on into base.
I have a functioning and tested copy of the tunables work, but I'll
need to do similar for the sysctls as well (des@ and I kind of got out
of sync a few months back).
Thanks,
