 mate_packet()  is a do-nothing function used only to pass it to the

include this change.

I'm curious about your system because at first sight both prototypes

The existing prototypes don't have variable names; he patched it to add them. See my other reply for an explanation of why that makes a difference with GCC but doesn't make a difference with other compilers; if you're not using GCC, I suspect the difference between his system and yours is that he's using GCC while you aren't. (If you *are* using GCC, I have no idea why the code in question compiled....)
