In 2.4.13pre3, the loop device was changed to use an array of unsigned
long for its entry in blk_size[]. This is broken, because blk_size[]
is of type 'int * []'. A patch is attached which fixes this problem
while still retaining the presumably intended behavior of working
properly with large devices.
