Now(!) that I am aware of the existence of BIND 9.4.3, and with the
intention of using it in production on Solaris 10 hosts, I thought I ought to configure it with STD_CDEFINES=-DISC_SOCKET_USE_POLLWATCH
as suggested by the entry for change 2489 (although I am not aware
that we have had any problems with beta versions of 9.4.3).

However, doing this generates a compiler warning:

cc -mt -I/usr/local/software/bind/bind-9.4.3 -I./include -I./../pthreads/include -I../include -I./../include -I./.. -D_REENTRANT -DISC_SOCKET_USE_POLLWATCH -D_XPG4_2 -D__EXTENSIONS__ -O -c socket.c
"socket.c", line 3167: warning: improper pointer/integer combination: arg #5

and indeed the call of manager_log there seems to have the wrong
number of arguments. Ought I to consider this a show-stopper? (That is, would BIND crash if it ever got to exercise this bit of code?
I've been running the resulting binary on a workstation without trouble,
but it is under very light load there.)

The C compiler is the Sun Studio 10 one, if that matters.
