Um, perhaps you misunderstand. I don't control the C API, I'm calling a
function that just exists in libc (unless I do what I said and write a
wrapper). If you're saying I should use c_size_t on the Python side, I
think that's outright wrong since I think some of the fields in the
dirent struct are 64 bits even on 32-bit systems. (I might be wrong
about that though.)

And even neglecting that, the types of the fields is only part of the
problem.
