If this concerns recompilation with the 2.3 dev sys, I've found a few
things which broke (especially curses-based programs) because code
which formerly declared vars as "char" needed to be "unsigned char".
Mush is one program which comes to mind.  I'm not sure if the specs of the
C library functions originally called for unsigned chars, and the
programmers in question assumed char == unsigned char, or the specs changed
with the 2.3 release.
