What the ... ?!?
My proposal of "(c >= 0 ... )" was only made to avoid the need
for a type change of variable "c".
Both proposals should be equivalent ... on the first morning
glimpse they still are.

4.9.2-5.fc22.
I got about the same one. Debian 4.9.2-10.

Anybody can give me hints how to install gcc 5 as alternative
compiler on a Debian 8.1 ? (I am still learning about my new
system.)


To poma:
There must be a character between 128 and 255 (-128 to -1)
in the SYSAPPEND strings which needs the "c >= 0" term to
survive. Any idea what it could be in the light of the list
in  com32/include/syslinux/sysappend.h  ?

To all:
Any idea how to inspect those strings while booting or while
an operating system is up ?


Have a nice day :)
