Greg, thank you for your reply. It seems I'm out of my league here, I
just thought I could quickly fix two compiler warnings, obviously this
is not the case. I've read the documentation, but I don't think I'll be
able to fix this. Sorry for the noise.
Randy, please ignore the other patch I sent you, it's obviously wrong.
