Which version of HPUX is that?  getdelim and getline aren't listed in
the latest HP-UX reference manual
<http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60105/index.html>.

If they're messing with locally-installed stdio.h files, my first
suggestion would be to remove those files, as they'll probably break
other packages too.  I've never heard of getdelim returning size_t,
and I can't find any evidence of such things on the the net.  For now
I'd make this low priority, as it appears to be a local aberration.
