I'm not concerned about whether the patch is correct (based on his last
patch it probably is) but whether its necessary.  Also, there's no
automated way to maintain the insistence that sentinels are explicitly
written as "(void *)NULL" [which is probably a safer cast than "(char
*)NULL"].   Sjoerd seems to have the only system that reports an uncast
NULL as an error.
