Remove comparision of (i_size > SIZE_MAX).

And boxen with size_t smaller than long long do exist. Anything
32bit will qualify. Pick any such and check that yourself...
Thanks for the immediate responses. I'm glad I sent this patch out to
understand the check is as such.
Is there some attribute we can add so such issues are not reported
against static analysis tools such as coverity?
