Mark,

It compiles fine on Solaris 10 right now using the two typdef's.  
However, not in Cygwin.  I am presently checking if this is also new to 
RHEL4/5, SUSE10.2, and FreeBSD.  I suspect somewhat similar results.  
Since the code is ours (The Cacti Group), I can still continue to use 
"unsigned short int" and "unsigned char" without issues (and I assume 
Solaris 10 too).  My concern is that the "*_t" typedefs are supposed to 
be hardware architecture agnostic, and there must have been some reason, 
other than "geeze everything else is that way, so why not do those two" 
to have done this for Solaris.

Larry
