Bill Gates, I think it was, once said, "Why would anyone ever need more than
640K of memory?"

The question shouldn't be, "Are there any platforms..." but rather, "In the
next N years, might there be any platforms..." (where N is the foreseeable
years of lifetime of talloc).

It seems that others have decided that size_t is large enough for the
foreseeable future.  On Linux, malloc() takes a size_t, so using size_t in
talloc does seem reasonable.
