Robert,

Well, I'll respond anyway.  :-)

Thanks for sending this in.  Very few people do.

I've seen that one.  I believe the problem actually lies with the
compiler in this case.  The line in question uses "volatile" once only
and no other compiler even mentions it.

Unfortunately, not much can be done about the above "errors" because the
file in question is generated by the rpcgen(1) utility on each system.

Same problem, the file in question is generated on the host system
by the host's yacc(1) utility.

I know that I am.

I wouldn't explore the code that's generated on the host system as
such code tends to be a bit bizarre.  Otherwise, enjoy.
