Greetings Stefano,
Thanks for spotting this.

I will look into this starting from today (I have not touched METIS for
a while). It looks to me like only the function calls have changed. Is
that right? Can you demonstrate to me exactly what error message you
were getting here with 5.0? Just to be safe.
I'd like (read: want / must / going to) keep backward compatibility
here. Therefore I will have to modify your patch somewhat and testing
it on METIS 4.0, 5.0 will take a short while.

Always ;-)
Thanks.
Best,
