OK, thanks for the clarification.

Another issue I stumbled across:
There are numerous places (well, some 10) were something like the following
is done

int var = var;
char *othervar = othervar;

Here this leads to Compiler warnings  'variable "var" is used before its
value is set' on NonStop. This self-initialization seems to be a GCC
extension (?), but even gcc has a -Winit-self option to warn about this.
Shouldn't that better be like the following?

int var = 0;
char *othervar = NULL;

What is the reason for using that self-init stuff? I don't think it is
really portable, is it?

Bye, Jojo
