[comp.sys.dec] kermit and DS3100

I am installing kermit (v4E) on a DS3100 (Ultrix 3.1).  When I compile
it using `make bsd' I get the following warnings:

cc -g -DBSD4 -DDEBUG -DTLOG -c ckuusr.c
ccom: Warning: ckuusr.c, line 1129: illegal pointer combination
        istat = signal(    2    ,       ((void (*)())( 1)));

In testing the program it seems to work fine, but I wonder if some
problem might be lurking behind these errors.  Is this something to
worry about?

Thanks for any insight you can offer.  Please email your suggestions.

We saw the same errors and haven't had any problems with it.  I reported it
to Columbia and they said not to worry about it.
