I see. Well, after looking at the code a bit more carefully next week, I 
might try sending him a delicately-worded question or two. Might as well 
fix what I can fix in userland without worrying about system interfaces, 
first. If it isn't WARNS=6---oh, well. No point in allocating temporary 
string objects and duplicating before passing to interfaces that can't 
be made constant, but which never modify strings. Such a pedantic 
exercise would probably be of net negative value, at least with respect 
to the presumed motivations for eliminating compiler warnings (i.e., 
safety and maintainability).
