Its rather easy to fix in the ilist code at least - the cases it points
out are those where I took a slightly ugly shortcut to reduce some very
minor code duplication...

Some casts fix it, alternatively the

     Assert(!dlist_is_empty());
     return head->head.next
could be moved into [ds]list_(head|tail)_node instead of relying on the
*_elemen_off support functions.

Greetings,

Andres
