However it generates:
error: comparison of constant ‘0’ with boolean expression is always true [-Werror=bool-compare]
inside the signedness check that max() does unless a '+ 0' is added.

Please fix your locale. You have random garbage characters there,
presumably because you have some incorrect locale setting somewhere in
your toolchain.

Hmmmm blame gcc :-)
The error message displays as '0' but is e2:80:98 30 e2:80:99
I HATE UTF-8, it wouldn't be as bad if it were a bijection.

Lets see if adding 'LANG=C' in the shell script I use to
do kernel builds is enough.

I also managed to send parts 1 to 6 without deleting the RE:
(I have to cut&paste from wordpad into a 'reply-all' of the first
message I send. Work uses mimecast and it has started bouncing
my copy of every message I send to the lists.)

Maybe I should start using telnet to send raw SMTP :-)
