you are not quite right about this:

There is an *error* message in the output (see below), because Eduardo
used compile-time defines improper for his platform. Different systems
have different stat(v)fs() call syntax, and you need to specify
appropriate HAVE_* defines in the CONFIG before compiling. In this case,
definition for a structure ifmail uses was missing.

This is fine Roeland, but you might have noticed that *my* code compiles
clean with -Wall (which does not make it bug-free, BTW ;-). That is
the borrowed code (Zmodem source) and generated code (by lex+yacc) that
produce warnings while compiling ifmail...
