Fix size parameter comparisions.
[BZ #13592] There are several signed compares of the size argument, whereas it really is unsigned. Depending on situations e.g. a "memset(ptr, 0, -1)" segfault (but for the wrong reasons, because jumping into nirvana) or succeeds even. In normal use this is harmless, as a size with signbit set indicates more than half the address space which on x86_64 is impossible to allocate, but as the size is used to index some jump tables this potentially could have other unwanted side effects.
