You are right. I created one to eliminate compiler warnings.

I was just wondering why there are two different proto's for the same
function name but use different types of ints and whether they can be
combined without breaking anything and uints to -me- make the most sense,
but the rx stuff might have errors coming back as negative numbers and
need signed ints.

Should I really be doing this on the 1.5.x source instead of the 1.4.2
source so we can fold these in? It really annoys me to see 5k warning
messages when compiling source. I know some of those I won't eliminate but
implicit function defs and other warnings can be fairly easily eliminated
without breaking much. There are other changes related to the different
libraries solaris has..

This change -could- break a few things though, thus the question.. :)
