Declare count as ssize_t instead of size_t, since read(), and thus ws_read(), can return a negative number. If that were to happen, then assigning the return value to an unsigned variable and then comparing that variable against 0 will yield incorrect/unintended results. Fixes Coverity CID 761910: Negative array index write.
