As long as there is no change in code path I see them as non-critical
bug fixes. The changes addresses a problem and may even kill some bugs
on "other" systems.

We should also try to fix all signed/unsigned char issues or array
indexing by char. These are often real causes to bugs.

I hope to find time to address the issues indicated by SunPRO cc before
2.5 is released. You are welcome to help there if you like. If you, like
me, don't have a Sun box with SunPRO cc handy then just use the SF
compile farm which exists to aid us in issues like this.

   build instructions for SunPRO cc on the SF compile farm Solaris
boxes:

   PATH=/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:$PATH
   export PATH
   CC=cc MAKE=gmake ./configure ....
   gmake
