i don't know what happened, but it seems like a char*. my system is a debian i636 etch, here are compiler versions: $ gcc-4.3-exp -v Using built-in specs. Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu Configured with: ./configure --program-suffix=-4.3-exp Thread model: posix gcc version 4.3.0 20070914 (experimental) (GCC) gives 'warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’' $ gcc-4.2 -v Using built-in specs.
