Comment:

 Hrm, both on 32 and 64 bit, don't `size_t` and `off_t` (st.st_size) are
 the same size? If so, that `SIZE_MAX` check is only useful with "==". I do
 think the `<` check is useful which would detect the overflow if the
 pagesize adjustment triggers it.

 {{{
 if (st.st_size >= SIZE_MAX || size < st.st_size) {
 }}}

 This snippet gives me the same size (on 64 bit and -m32):
 {{{
   size_t max = SIZE_MAX;
   off_t max2 = (~(off_t)0);
 }}}
