I found a reference in SuSv2 which puts ssize_t squarely in sys/types.h,
so this is a bug.  Glen, can you file a bug against the SDK?

I wasn't able to find a clear answer on this one; different groups seem
to say different things.  I've found advice that POSIX actually promotes
limits.h and *not* sys/param.h, references to sys/limit.h, and some
ancient BSD headers which use sys/syslimits.h and machine/limits.h.
