Yes.

No, no other problems.

After these problems compiling under gcc-2.8.1, I reverted to gcc-2.7.2.3,
and a clean copy of the hylafax-v4.0pl2 source again, and it built, installed
and worked fine.

I don't want to confuse things with a different problem, but the main reason I 
upgraded to hylafax-v4.0pl2 was because I was hoping it might possibly solve a
strange problem I've been having with hylafax-v4.0pl1.

The problem I'm having with both hylafax-v4.0pl2 and hylafax-v4.0pl1
is that at the end of an unsuccessful fax transmission due to no answer
from the remote end, the modem communication gets screwed up:

Jul 22 17:28:05.75: [25596]: <-- [31:AT+FLID="Mark G. Thomas Cnslt"\r]
Jul 22 17:28:06.02: [25596]: --> [2:OK]
Jul 22 17:28:06.02: [25596]: DIAL 8364654
Jul 22 17:28:06.02: [25596]: <-- [15:ATDT9,8364654@\r]
Jul 22 17:29:12.53: [25596]: --> [9:NO ANSWER]
Jul 22 17:29:12.54: [25596]: SEND FAILED: No answer from remote
Jul 22 17:29:12.54: [25596]: <-- [5:ATH0\r]
Jul 22 17:29:17.54: [25596]: MODEM <Timeout>   <--------- times out here
Jul 22 17:29:17.77: [25596]: SESSION END

Normally this goes unnoticed, since faxgetty successfully unsticks things,
however if I happen to send a job right about when this happens, the modem
is then stuck during the send attempt, and the job fails immediately.
