Oof, I was afraid of that.

3.4.2

I'll try another version and see what happens.


ps. I was wondering (and this issue made me think of it again) if maybe 
in the release branch (for 0.99.6) we should turn off (by default) 
warnings-as-errors.  Every time I've gone to a different-from-my-usual 
platform I've had to either patch it or disable warnings-as-errors.  Do 
we really want to deal with all the questions that will result from 
hundreds or thousands of users who compile their own hitting some new 
warning?
