Um... it's not that its just a misunderstanding of what
a string is in C.  In a lot of languages, strings are
really strings, with a defined length, and helpful 
built in stuff to allocate memory for them etc etc.

In C a string is nothing more than an static array of 
char.  Hopefully with a NULL char marking the end of the
string.  Thats hopefully because if it's not there
then really bad things happen because C doesn't have
bounds checking on arrays.  Which means it's very 
easy to do things like copy data past the end of a
string, thus corrupting memory.

PS: When I get a warning I always look to see what is 
causing it and then do the appropriate cast or what
not to make it go away.
