Ohh.. I wasn't aware about this case, since I get no errors at all at
this line. Do you see any others? I personally get these:

Modules/_sre.c:381: warning: comparison is always true due to limited
range of data type
Modules/_sre.c:383: warning: comparison is always true due to limited
range of data type
Modules/_sre.c:390: warning: comparison is always true due to limited
range of data type
Modules/_sre.c:392: warning: comparison is always true due to limited
range of data type
Modules/_sre.c: In function `sre_charset':
Modules/_sre.c:487: warning: comparison is always true due to limited
range of data type
Modules/_sre.c: In function `sre_ucharset':
Modules/_sre.c:487: warning: comparison is always true due to limited
range of data type

Suggestions welcome.

It will be a pleasure to fix that once I'm back from vacation (dialup
tsc tsc), and get the necessary time. Thanks for pointing me out.

Ditto.
