Re: Compiling CVS 2.7.16 with g++ 3.3.4

[Mats Bengtsson]

I have exactly the same problem here with g++ (GCC) 3.2.2 and
as we have seen from the mailing list, there are more people who
have been hit by the same problem. The weird thing is that the cast
isn't needed two lines earlier where str is printed.

May I submit a patch?
