Oh, I read the wrong function. In fact, file_read() of Python 2.7 calls fread() 
and fread() uses size_t types, even on Windows.

To make sure that we are talking about the same thing, I wrote the attached 
file_read_size_t.patch file which replaces "l" with "n" in file_read().

Note: os.read() uses int types, even on Python 3.5, whereas read() uses a 
size_t type for the number of bytes on Linux.
