Definitions of BOOL are still problematic (and configuration is broken
on Solaris, older Macs, ...).

The link to that version is here:

Link to bug tracker:

(with my "simplified" patch proposal)

(But one could try to patch the trunk first. The bug manifests only in
not-so-mainstream systems, but the patch affects everyone. Having some
extra time to make sure that no other systems are broken could help.)
