However, the attached diff doesn't seem to have this change.

I assume this is a reference to this:
      ohshite(_("realloc failed (%ld bytes)"), pathlen);

However changing %ld to %lu is still not correct because the actual
type of pathlen (which is a size_t) isn't known.

This should read:
      ohshite(_("realloc failed (%lu bytes)"), (unsigned long)pathlen);
or the corresponding thing with %ld and (long) - I think we can safely
assume that pathlen will be <= LONG_MAX.
