I'm not sure what you are suggesting (``starting with only 32, using
an unsigned "length"''), but if this means to use a 32-bit type as the
last argument to emacs_write, then that was the bug I fixed by using
ssize_t instead of an int.  The bug prevented Emacs from saving
regions larger than INT_MAX.
