on some patforms char is default signed and on others
is unsigned.

i received a bug because somewhere (at least in
lib/transfer.c:627) char is supposed to be signed even
if it is not always true.

more info at http://bugs.debian.org/127011.

thanks

    Thanks for pointing this out.

    I've made the 'bool' typedef "unsigned char" now to avoid
    this in the future, and I corrected the silly comparison in
    lib/transfer.c (even though it is a completely different
    line number in the current code).

    I re-run the compiler with "whining" options enabled, and it
    didn't complain on any other occurrences of this mistake.
