I made a nasty typo.  skipped NOT.  I was not NOt willing to apply
a big patch.  Yes patch now work on RH 6.1, SGI and Cygwin, including I
built samples and tested
each example.  No crash.  80% of compiler warning disappeared.

NO, Not really.  I mean have some other users test it too for other OS, like
Solaris, AIX and other setups.  I prefer to apply it after
realeasing 4.1.0 so it gets in queue for 4.1.0.1 beta to fix any bugs which
may
get introduced.  I am going to test the same patch with MSVc tonite, at
home.
