> In case a function argument is known/fixed size array in C, the argument is
> still decoyed as pointer instead ( T f(U n[k]) ~= T fn(U *n) ) and therefore
> calling sizeof on the function argument will result in the size of the pointer,
> not the size of the array.

> The VFAT code contains such a bug, this patch fixes it.
