   I believe I have fixed that bug in queue-development version
 at least a month ago. How did they manage to get it back to life?
 I guess they used `queue' CVS tree (not `queue-developemnt').

   It also conflicts with many libraries header files,
 AFAIK ncurses, the W3C libwww are among them. This is bad practice,
 it causes lots of headache as those headers behave quite differently
 if DEBUG is set... This is just type of global namespace pollution.
