And shame on me, since I'm the one that caused it.

Your criticism is fair -- but I will note that it was one warning
among many.  Despite your efforts, the warning count is creeping
upwards, again.

This is precisely where automated pre-commit testing would win: I made
a relatively innocent mistake, not so much out of carelessness as out
of the inability to test properly, not having a non-GCC compiler
available at the time.  A test server would have tested, found the
problem, and it would have taken me only minutes to correct the patch
-- all without making poor Robert have to track it down.

Perhaps we should make -pedantic-errors the default.  What are the
chances of surviving a bootstrap with that switch on most systems?

That said, there's no excuse.  I apologize.
