are you sure? 
#grep SSIZE *.c
#canon-sane.c:        nremain = (remain < SSIZE_MAX)? remain: SSIZE_MAX;

#grep canon-sane.c *
#Makefile.in:  canon.conf canon.h canon-sane.c canon-scsi.c canon630u.c canon630u-common.c \
#canon.c:#include "canon-sane.c"
#snapscan.c: *         * backend/avision.c backend/canon-sane.c backend/coolscan.c

it seems, that canon-sane is included from canon.c, which also includes the canon-scsi.c...

In the meantime, I don't think we should touch canon-sane.c, instead we should
add 
#ifndef SSIZE_MAX
# define SSIZE_MAX LONG_MAX
#endif

to sanei_backends.h as here is also the PATH_MAX stuff after including <limits.h>

Ciao,
Gerhard
