Re: flexfax: Compile problem on Alpha Linux

Hi,

It looks like a internal-compiler error:

There's a few casts in that function from native size quantitys to 32 bit
and 16 bit values maybe the compiler is getting confused.

Your best bet by far though is to get a new compiler, or if you have the
latest version report it as a compiler bug. Try http://egcs.cygnus.com/
