warnings from the compiler: cast from pointer to integer of different size, comparisons between signed and unsigned integers, indirect jmp without `*'.

Running the program causes a segmentation fault.

Has anyone managed to get nvu to work?  What need I do?
Seems like a grave bug. One probably should check if nvu works on ia64, and if it doesn't file a grave bug report. Programs that segfault on start on any of the supported architectures have grave bugs.

PS. Probably the cause is passing pointers as integers bug on 64-bit, sizeof(int)==4, sizeof(void*)==8 so it will always segfault. It is caused by non-portable, bad style programming.

Comparisons between signed/unsigned are not really a problem in most cases. Same with warnings about indirect jmp.
