Well, that fixed it. Thanks for pointing it out!

I'll have to see what that patch actually does, I guess. The explanation from 
the referenced message seems to be that the compiler outmanoeuvred the authors 
of the code, so I suppose this is my punishment for using a newer compiler.

Should the patch be something that is available via the Subversion repository 
or is it a tentative change that hasn't been fully tested yet?

Anyway, I can now hopefully return to the program I thought I'd be testing on 
Wednesday and see what mistakes I've made in my driver code.

Thanks once again,

Paul
