Description Loïc Minier 2007-05-08 10:38:28 UTC 
Hi,

Dann Frazier reported in Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/314692:
"""
Our build log filter[1] detected a problem that will cause your package to
segfault on architectures where the size of a pointer is greater
than the size of an integer, such as ia64.

Function `gnome_vfs_unescape_string_for_display' implicitly converted to pointer
at panel.c:523
Function `getenv' implicitly converted to pointer at clock.c:333

[...]
[1]http://people.debian.org/~dannf/check-implicit-pointer-functions
"""

I'll attach his patch.

Bye,
