As I had said, I only tested with gcc-3.4.6 (cross- under i686-linux)
and 2.95 (native under dosbox).  Gcc versions 4.x and newer _should_
be OK. Don't know how gcc 3.0.x, 3.1.x, 3.2.x, and 3.3.x behave.

EDIT: I now tested 3.3.6 and 8.2.0, both cross- under i686-linux, and
they both work OK with JW's patch.  I now do not know the behavior of
only gcc 3.0.x, 3.1.x and 3.2.x, and possibly they are not worth much
to worry about.

OK then, no objections from me. Feel free to apply the patch.
