Hi Andreas!

Thanks for the bug report.

(I don't know where to get the version you're going to upload soon, so I 
took a look at 1:3.7.0.0-8, which apparently triggers the same bug.)

The string that makes Lintian unhappy is:

res.size() == static_cast<size_type>(w)

This is of course false positive. I don't know why Lintian glued "res" 
and "size" together despite the dot between them...
