I tried to compile from source last STABLE there.
There are lots of warnings, though.  For instance:

interface.c:454: warning: passing arg 2 of `SMseterror' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
interface.c:455: warning: implicit declaration of function `warn'
interface.c:455: warning: nested extern declaration of `warn'
interface.c:480: warning: passing arg 2 of `SMseterror' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
chan.c:51: warning: missing initializer
chan.c:51: warning: (near initialization for `CHANnull.Skip')
nc.c: In function `NCproc':
nc.c:771: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned
nc.c:772: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned
nc.c:905: warning: int format, different type arg (arg 4)


Is it normal? (with 'make warnings')


As for the problem with innfeed, it segfaults as soon as it is started via
newsfeeds (innfeed! entry with startinnfeed) and if a peer is set up in
innfeed.conf.  The same occurs with a CURRENT version (innfeed! entry with
directly innfeed).

Any thoughts about that?
